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.

Describing and evaluating research into the relationship between stress and the immune system Hans Selye (1956) provided the first systematic attempt to describe the body's response to stress and his theory alerted the world of medicine to a link between stress and illness; this theory is the general adaptation syndrome (G.A.S) which describes the body’s reaction to stress as an immediate alarm followed by resistance to the stress followed by exhaustion once the body's resources become depleted. Thus summed up, Selye states that the body handles stress through Alarm-Resistance-exhaustion. This means that stress can cause illness through immunosuppression. His inspiration for G.A.S came from an endocrinological experiment in which he injected mice with extracts of various organs. He at first believed he had discovered a new hormone, but was proved wrong when every irritating substance he injected produced the same symptoms (for example, swelling of the adrenal cortex).
Mr. B. was vulnerable when he was left unattended. Finally, the LPN on duty displayed a dangerous knowledge deficit by ignoring the de-saturation alarm on the oximeter. Improvement Plan Using Change Theory Change theory helps to effectively organize ideas that bring about long-term change. Implementing change theory first requires an identified driving force. In the scenario, Emergency department staff members were likely shaken by this poor outcome of Mr. B., and would be motivated to change to a safer model just to avoid a repeat in the future.

Sure others will place restrictions on our desires, but these restrictions are there insofar as we allow them to be. This is being solely applied to Duberman and his suffering in his younger days. He failed to confront himself about his sexuality and accept it, which renders him emotionally unstable. So he readily accepted his sexuality as a disease and self-prescribed as being incapable of a lasting fulfilling relationship with another man, as psychiatry would claim during the time. And in essence he became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It fits because in Malcolm x quote he describes how his frustration with not being able to read and write aggravates him. This quote led him to start his “Homemade education”. Malcolm knew that reading was a good thing and he knew that in the long run, reading would better himself as a person by having so much knowledge. In Plato’s quote he states that in the world of knowledge the idea of good appears last of all, and is only seen with effort. Malcolm knew that without putting in any effort to read and write that the outcome would not be good.
First we will discuss the social changes and population. Then the economical occurrences such as all the inventions. And finally the political circumstances intertwined with the the wars and land. Social changes any classes began to develope with industrialization. The change in the industry
“Conflict brings out the worst in people” Most of us consider ourselves pacifists and try to avoid conflict whenever possible. However circumstances and chance often intrude themselves into our idyll and draw us into situations where we are faced with conflict. The philosophers teach us that it is precisely such events where the steadfastness of our characters is put to the test and our better qualities are revealed. History however has proven quite the opposite as humans, when in fear, often instead revert to our natural defensive instincts, which sadly enough and all too frequently tend to supersede reason. In the 1950’s the mercurial American Senator Joseph McCarthy singularly embarked on a crusade to free Americans from the spectre
