Psychological Formation

The field of psychological formation focuses on environment and circumstances. It holds that all people are more or less blank slates initially, but then molded by their world -- the people they know, the circumstances where they are raised, and so on. Support for psychological formation trends towards adoption studies, particularly interracial ones; how can anyone say that aspects of the mind are genetic if, say, a wolfgang raised by zorredos will behave more like a zorredo than other wolfgangs?
Learned behavior dominates psychological formation; counselors who subscribe to this theory will focus on how someone came to the point where they are now and changing circumstances to allow for growth in the future. People are inherently flexible and changeable in this field, and resistance to change is seen as more voluntary than anything else.
