However there isn’t any research evidence to support Freud’s theory and psychoanalysis is not an effective treatment for schizophrenia suggesting that the psychodynamic theory does not explain the causes of schizophrenia. Another explanation of schizophrenia is family models. The double bund theory suggests that a child has repeated experiences of contradictory messages from family members. For example a parent might say “you look sleepy and you need to go to bed now”. This suggests concern for the child’s welfare, but the tone of voice and body language could suggest hostility and desire to get the child out of the way.
The results were that the chance of developing a cold correlated with stress index scores. The life event lowered the immune function and increased vulnerability to the virus. However there were several problems with this research, one of which was that it was an indirect study- there was no direct measure of the immune system for example no blood test or medical test was taken as evidence. Consequently we cannot determine how far the participant’s immune system was affected in relation to the stress. Another key problem was that there were was no direct manipulation of the independent variable so the study doesn’t tell us which element of the stress index is most important and related to the decrease in immune function.
The journal does not truly seem to provide any usefully information because it does not reveal much of the educational side of their psycho-education. It does however provide all of the information of the experiment. It shows all the results, which does not hold much meaning due to the current outcome. The information that was provided in this trail is just a more detailed description of an unsuccessful trial. The information that was found on Google and in other psychological websites gives more information about the disease and how to manage it for the individual, family, and friends.
* * 2. What are at least two opinions presented by each side of the critical issue? * * Cotton and Devilly stress that Critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) is not explained properly and research has proven that CISD does not give patients the results needed. * Devilly and Cotton also stated that Critical incident stress management (CISM) is also not properly explained in the treatment of traumatized individuals, which makes the process ineffective (Halgin, 2007). * Mitchell’s opinion is that Devilly and Cotton display a lack of knowledge within the text of CISM because no reference to this literature is stated by the authors.
Some of the symptoms, e.g. delusions of grandeur were reflective of this whilst others, such as auditory hallucinations reflected the individual’s attempts to re-establish ego control. This theory is largely based on speculation as it isn’t possible to empirically test the concepts put forth, such as the unconscious processes and regression, therefore it cannot be ascertained that this is categorically what causes the development of schizophrenia. The over-emphasis on early childhood experiences being the root cause means that current problems the individual may be experiencing is overlooked. The setting in which they are in is not accounted for; Brown and Birley (1968) have provided evidence that suggests the occurrence of stressful life events increases susceptibility to
While it is treatable in many cases, there is as yet no cure for schizophrenia (World Fellowship for Schizophrenia and Allied Disorders, 1997-09). Symptoms for schizophrenia include disordered thinking, delusions, and hallucinations. Since there is no known cure schizophrenia, people should not be screened for schizophrenia due to the fact that it
Upon reviewing JGH’s presentation there appears to be moderate signs of a personality disorder but not enough criteria to warrant a diagnosis. Therefore on Axis II the diagnostic code is 799.9 Diagnosis deferred on Axis II. Axis III Medical Disorders In the case of JGH, a physical examination, a review of his systems, and laboratory tests did not reveal any medical conditions that are potentially relevant to the understanding or management of JGH’s mental disorder. However; taken consideration for his age I would defer this diagnosis pending further test. Axis III: Deferred Axis IV Psychosocial and Environmental Problems Age is a consideration in diagnosis JGH.
The truth that he does not obviously reference the detail of public policy as a direct consequence of mental illness may confuse some readers. In article, Gratzer repeatedly mention the mental illness patients did not receive the help they actually need, yet it is more about the system of psychology medical sysyem than the public policy. It is also interesting to note that Gratzer provides the accurate data of analysis for the Mental Health in an attempt to state the essence of mental illness to a country’s economic. Nevertheless, he does not declare the primary factor that triggers the occurrence of mental illness, and the lack of specific example to explain the relationship between economic lost and mental health problem is evident. However, Gratzer has stated three ideas in the article which should be done by public, improving education, using the technology and promoting the quality care, by very concrete cause and effect.
Moreno has never put emphasis on detailed theoretical investigations. Also, psychodramatists are far from current scientific standards. Reasons for that are that sociopsychological research is mainly statistical and psychodramatists are dealing with persons in the here and now. However, quite a few results in several fields are compatible with the original Role Theory (RT). Best examples are Transaction Analysis and Therapeutic Spiral Model.
Many people are diagnosed with psychological problems without even knowing about the disorder. They live their lives without any awareness of their problems, and do not get treated for it. In Hosseini’s novel, “The Kite Runner” it is controversial whether such psychological problems can be recovered through appropriate treatment or through the character’s own abilities and skills. Baba, Assef, and Sohrab deal with psychological problems throughout the story. It is intended that these characters are suffering from mental problems as each of them show the symptoms of their disorders.
