All individuals are innately and inherently good and constantly self-actualizing by surmounting typical obstacles using problem-solving skills and all available psychosocial resources. Human psychological development and developmental psychopathology are biopsychosocial whereby, endogenous and exogenous factors in experience throughout the lifespan influence development. The outcomes of insecure attachment from 0 to 3 un-reprocessed trauma, abuse, and neglect 'indecision' at milestones some genetic tendencies or mutation of genes pathophysiology in the brain or the incorrect uptake of neurotransmitters in the CNS and individual differences in learning, intellect and personality interact, forming more unrealistic, unreasonable or dysfunctional schemata, inferiority complexes, automatic negative thoughts, negative feelings, and maladaptive behaviors, in some more than in others. Excessive obstacles impede on one's path to self-actualization, frustrating one from approaching the limit, broad goals, form, or archetype, causing 'psychopathology ' whereby, the individual fails to thrive at becoming one's ideal self, the proactive individual with healthy social interest, and develops an inferiority complex, causing one dysphoria and disempowerment, encompassing desperate means of coping, becoming out of control, discouragement, giving up helplessly, or engaging in antisocial behavior. Experiencing such symptomology, one never fully realizes his or her potential. In contrast, genuine social interest, courage, industriousness, accomplishment, and sense of achievement demarcate a nonpathological, unfolding, growth, or development. Specific mastery was developed in: law, ethics and moral principles, biopsychosocial development, psychopathology, personality and individual differences, clinical psychological testing and assessment, forensics, trauma, mental status exam, intake and diagnostic evaluation, individualized, patient-centered treatment (care) planning, differential diagnoses, an abundant array of psychotherapy models, research in clinical psychology, psychometrics and measuring psychological change, and criminality.
