Lack of finance can cause families to live in poverty, which can then have adverse effects on health, life opportunities, employment, diet and wellbeing, which in turn can lead to more isolation. “social exclusion doesn’t only mean that poor people are likely to experience a number of simultaneous disadvantages: the key thinking that underpins the concept is that social problems are interconnected……..social exclusion can be addressed only by tackling the linked problems of unemployment, low qualifications…..in a joined up way” (Wiles, F., K101, Block 3, Unit 9, Pg 35/36).

In this review of the Three Psychotherapies that were implemented in the Gloria Tapes it is apparent how different the three approaches are even though they are all considered psychotherapy. The three therapies used on these tapes were the client centered approach by Carl Rogers, rational emotive theory by Albert Ellis and the Gestalt theory by Fritz Perls. In this review the three approaches will be examined to analyze the different therapies and interviewing techniques. In looking at the first approach Carl Rogers uses client centered therapy. Rogers’ approach seemed to me to be the most client friendly technique.
Evaluate 3 Approaches to treating Mental Disorders: Psychodynamic, Biological and Behavioural Approach. When looking at the treatment of people with mental health issues there have been various methods tried, some having limited success and some having long term success, in this essay I shall discuss the three listed in the title along with the benefits and weaknesses of each. Psychodynamic Approach: The concept of the psychodynamic approach is to explain behaviour in terms of the forces that drive it. The best known example of this approach is Freud’s theory of personality, although there are many other psychodynamic theories based on Freud’s ideas. Sigmund Freud was the first to challenge the view that mental disorders were caused by physical illness and proposed that psychological factors were responsible for the illness.
Underreporting occurs due to individuals being dishonest regarding their behavior, therefore causing an error in the research done. A possible solution to this limitation is focusing on observed behavior, and correlating the findings with the self-reporting behavior, therefore developing a conclusion that is more in-depth. Furthermore, Article 2 emphasized that other factors can influence self-labeling as a victim in relation to work-place bullying, not just anxiety and anger. In addition, discovering a moderation effect regarding negative acts of violence and self-labeling is hard to discover due to the psychological way an individual may experience an event. Lastly, Article 3 honed on the lack of variances of deviant behavior.
In the novel, The Road by Cormac McCarthy there are many different aspects of good and evil, some of which could be misunderstood due to one’s interpretation between the two because of the pressures of society. Specifically asking the questions what distinguishes the two and if human nature plays a role in determining what is the most basic factor “good” or “evil”. The novel suggests there is not really any good and evil however the manner in which the character adapts to the new world can be viewed in either a positive or negative manner. The true distinction between good and evil behavior is how people survived in abandoned civilization and how one encountered its hardships. This is evident in the journey of a father and son, struggling for food, warmth and basic necessities that one needs to live.
By promoting self-advocacy it will help clients to effectively communicate, convey, negotiate and defend their own interest and desires. I believe in the mental health counseling field the decision of a mental health provider engaging in advocacy can vary across the providers and situations. Another important consideration when looking at if a mental health professional should become involved in social justice advocacy could be the size of the community they practice in. If I were to work in a rural community vs. urban community I might come across more issues than if were to be situated in an urban community. In rural areas the combination of a higher rate of mental illness; low rates of protective supports such as insurance, literacy, education, and employment; and limited access to resources place rural residents in a position where advocacy by professionals is highly needed (CITE).
Champion equality ,diversity, and inclusion Explain the models of practice that underpin equality, diversity and inclusion in your own area of responsibility In my area of responsibility I would like to pin point two specifics models of practice the first one is the social model of mental health, many patients have been suffering with discrimination and prejudice demonstrated in today’s society, in which the need for each other has not been taken seriously or the environment where they live. The stigma of mental health patients still plays a very difficult role in power of those who need to be looked after and by their relatives. The social model focuses on whom is the mental health person as a individual, not to their diagnosis and lack of understanding of the world , it also focuses on how to support and empower the individual to have a better life and lead an independent life , supported by a society that understands the patients with mental health needs. The second is the medical model of care, that views adults with mental health with difficulties or lacking in some ways, this model focuses in acknowledging ways to give better treatment and therapy, to also focus on identifying, diagnosing and controlling the condition in the best way possible with a strong medical and clinical support. I have
An outsider is someone who does not conform to society’s expectations and due to their difference they experience isolation and disadvantage. Through my study of John Lee Hancock's film The Blind Side and Craig Silvey's novel Jasper Jones I have come to understand that it requires a great deal of courage and strength to face the challenges of being an outsider. Furthermore, The Blind Side portrays the idea that outsiders ultimately seek acceptance from others while Jasper Jones depicts the issue that outsiders may be stigmatised by society and yet in reality outsiders can have many positive qualities. Ultimately, studying “The Outsider” helps me to understand the challenges and rewards of being different from mainstream society. Through
In the health care world, emphasis and resources have been devoted to screening, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness than an individual’s mental health. Little has been done to protect and maintain the mental health of those free of mental illness. In this paper, I will focus on the prevalence of mental illness within the Richmond Virginia community, the stigma surrounding this type of illness and community resources available to residents affected by this illness by focusing on the three domains of mental health: emotional well-being, psychological well-being and social well-being. A balance of these three domains need to be in place to support mental health, including adequate housing, quality education, fair wages and job opportunities, and safe
This stands for the Functional Analysis of Care Environments. This assessment tool is the result of over 17 years of developmental work between different health and social care disciplines. It identifies risk history and looks at existing warning signs, for example if Emma was to pose any risk of harm to her or others. The department of health (2003) found that risk assessment in mental health care is in effect a culture, which has been put into practice by the government in an attempt to decrease the amount of suicides. The FACE risk profile is an ongoing assessment, which contributes to care planning and risk management for the client.
