By establishing differences between psychiatry and psychology,how counselling and psychotherapy emerged from these disciplines becomes clearer.Psychiatry relates to the process of healing the mind through medical intervention.Psychology has its roots within academic study and research of human and animal perception.Psychoanalysis is ‘interested in exploration of the unconscious mind in order to cure’. [psychoanalysis-techniques]From Freud,,the seeds of contemporary counselling and psychotherapy practice were sown.The journey to it’s current position is neither rigid or fixed within it’s application of ideas.Perhaps becoming more apparent by viewing current practice as originating from the same tree root but realizing itself as different branches inevitably intertwining and overlapping.The position of many of the originators of psychotherapeutic theories were within psychology Nelson-Jones[2006]and their ideas permeated through to counselling and psychotherapy and discussed as follows: From my research I established the view that there are three main schools of thought.The psychodynamic;the humanistic-existential and the cognitive-behavioural schools.For the
Clinical psychology is defined as “the study of individuals, by observation or experimentation, with the intention of promoting change” (Compas & Gotlib, 2001). While the field of clinical psychology continued to expand, psychiatrists remained working with patients noted to have severe mental illnesses. During World War I, the two intelligence tests Army Alpha (verbal skills) and Army Beta (nonverbal skills) were introduced, making assessment the key focus of clinical psychology (Compas & Gotlib, 2001). The America Association of Clinical Psychology was established in 1917; following the creation of The American Association of Applied Psychology (APA) in 1930. The APA
The population I am most interested in digging deeper into is the field of mental health and treatment facilities. I am so interested in this population because it is the field of work I want to enter to start out my psychology career. The San Marcos Treatment Center in San Marcos, Texas will hopefully be my starting point. San Marcos Treatment Center is a residential treatment facility for adolescents for the treatment of psychiatric disorders, neuro-developmental disorders, neuro-psychiatric disorders, sexual abuse, and/or substance abuse/chemical dependency. The ultimate purpose of the SMTC is to provide healing and treatment for adolescents with “mental disorders” which is defined as, “a significant behavioral or psychological syndrome
I am sure my keen interest in psychiatric nursing had a lot to do with this decision. Peplau’s theory of interpersonal relations is based on the nurse and patient developing a type of interpersonal relationship, which developed into a type of partnership, where they are both active members in the patient’s care and outcome. The client is the decision maker and the nurse is there to provide guidance and support to help the patient reach their desired goal (Pearson, 2006). Peplau’s nursing background mostly involved psychiatric patients. She became increasingly involved and interested in psychiatric issues when serving in the United States Army and working at the 312th Station Hospital and School for Military Neuropsychiatry for the European Theatre, during World War II.
He was also trained in adult psychiatry from Maudsley Hospital. John Bowlby was the pioneer behind the development of attachment theory. He presented his work entitled as “A Secure base” in 1988 in which he emphasized on the need of parental love and care for a child. Besides that, he also developed understandings in the field of evolutionary biology, cognitive science, control systems theory, developmental psychology and biology. He worked with renowned scientists such as Konrad Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen in the field of ethology.
There are debate argue that people are shaped by biology and genetic such as eye colour. What is the meaning of ‘Nurture’? ‘’The sum of environmental influences and conditions acting on an organism’’. Also from the ‘Oxford dictionary. For example, a teenager who has friends that are aggressive.
Over time the scientific progresses have changed in psychology and a long with it there approaches have too. At the beginning there was structuralism and functionalism of psychology. The different approaches of our modern day psychology is behavioral, psychoanalytic, and humanism. One part of biological psychology studies the brain and the nervous system.

The entry was written by L. Fleming Fallon, a Professor of Public Health at Bowling Green State University making him an authority on medical issues. The entry was written in 2002, making it relatively current. This entry supports my assertion that exercise can be used as a treatment for depression. Next, I searched the Medline Database for articles about depression and exercise by inputting the words depression AND exercise. I decided to read an article titled Clinical Inquiries: Does exercise alleviate symptoms of depression?
| If the patient has to take more than one type of medication at the same time; they will get confused if the Doctor hasn’t clearly explained how they should take it. | This can be related to Argyle’s Stages of Communication because the patient needs to trust the doctor to know what he or she wants them to do. | Improves level of care for everyone | More than one nurse taking care of a patient at a hospital or in an elderly people’s home. | If they don’t communicate with each other than they may end up repeating things or the patient won’t trust the nurses. | This can be related to Tuckman’s theory of Group Interaction because the Nurses have to work together so that they can provide the best care for that patient
McGregor’s Theory X and Y Sumitra Kendall CJ503 Organizational Behavior Professor Sherri Homer October 5, 2013 Douglas McGregor was a psychologist first and decided in his career to teach at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) where he was a professor of management. His experience there led him to create the “McGregor theory X and Y” its goal was to represent his assumptions and views on human behavior and nature and that they are relevant to management. Originally, theory x and y was introduced in the novel he wrote entitled “The human side of enterprise” (1960). As a result, it became a massive influence on the management profession and still does to this date. McGregor’s ideas suggest that there should be two approaches towards the management of people and that there are two different fundamental properties, which highlight a person’s behavior in a working environment and organizational life.
