Cognitive development vs. Attachment theory By: Carson Dixon This paper shows how people acquire separation anxiety when losing a partner in an intimate relationship. The way we handle that anxiety and how much is actually experienced has a lot to do with how one’s early childhood occurred. Problems during infancy lead to long-term problems, regardless of which theory one focuses on. The adult cognitive development focuses on how we shift from the mindset of right and wrong, to one of subjectivity and reasoning. The development is from birth to death and is explained in eight stages.
Abnormal behavior and conditions vary by tradition to tradition and person to person. Nowadays, abnormal functioning is typically connected to several types of psychological illness (Frude, 1998). Abnormal psychology comprises of studying individuals who cannot adjust and act usually below situations that are believed to be typical. This could generally happen due to heredity, group connections, physical conditioning, knowledge and logic (Frude, 1998). Analyzing the start of abnormal psychology, for thousands of year’s individuals has been trying to comprehend and modify what is apparent as abnormal behavior.
1.1 Analyse the differences between the concept of safeguarding and the concept of protection in relation to vulnerable adults Under the Health and Social Care Act (2008), abuse is defined as: “Single or repeated act or lack of appropriate action occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust which causes harm or distress including physical, emotional, verbal, financial, sexual, racial abuse, neglect and abuse through misapplication of drugs.” Abuse can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. However, it is so alarming that more and more elderly people suffer from abuse on a daily basis. Many elderly adults are being abused in their own homes and even in care facilities such as nursing homes responsible for their care. How can elderly groups be vulnerable to abuse and/or harm to self and others? And how do care services providers that are supposed to deliver utmost care and support become one of the major contributing factors of abuse.
There are 7 different types of abuse in a health and social care setting and unfortunately, it is happening all the time. The different types are listed below, followed by an explanation of each along with signs, symptoms and what to do if you suspect abuse. • Physical abuse • Sexual abuse • Emotional/psychological abuse • Financial abuse • Institutional abuse • Self neglect • Neglect by others What is abuse? Abuse is a violation of a person’s human and civil rights by another person and can take many forms. Abuse can be carried out by anybody: care staff, friends, acquaintances and even a person’s own family and children.
Borderline personality disorder is also considered a disorder that causes emotional dysregulation and can be a great factor in the disruption of the family, long-term plans, sense of identity and work. Borderline personality affects between one and two percent of the general population. There are many approaches that a counselor can utilize in the helping profession when working with clients who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder; dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is one (NAMI, 2012). Dialectical behavioral therapy is very much like Marxist socioeconomics principles; however, the actual philosophy goes back in time over thousands of years. Accordingly, the process by which a phenomena, behavior, or argument is transformed involves three dialectical and crucial stages which are: (1) the stage where the initial thesis occurs: beginning (2) stage that involves the contradiction or “antithesis: negotiation of the phenomenon beginning (3) The stage of the synthesis of the thesis or “antithesis’: negotiation of the negotiation.

There is always a reason behind challenging behaviour but it may prove quiet difficult to find out the reason. To deal with challenging behaviour and try to prevent it various care settings follow the ABC’s of behaviour: A – Antecedents, things or situations that lead up to the behaviour. B – Behaviour, the behaviour exhibited. C – Consequences, what happens after the behaviour.

2002). In this paper we will discuss the internal barriers to the use of non-pharmacological methods of treatment such as physical setting, social factors and settings and technology as well as external barriers including regulatory, economic and legal restrictions. Some ideas for overcoming these barriers will also be discussed. The possibility of the use of non-pharmacologic interventions among nursing home residents with dementia There are several factors that affect the estimated prevalence of psychiatric disorders in nursing homes such as, the definition of psychiatric disorders and the type and numbers of nursing homes reviewed. Taking the different factors into consideration the estimated prevalence of psychiatric disorders is about 68 to 94 percent of all problem behaviors in the nursing home setting.
Culminating in the identifying the differences between each disorder. Webster’s dictionary defines personality as “The complex of all the attributes--behavioral, temperamental, emotional and mental--that characterize a unique individual.” Everyone has a personality and it is the thing that makes every unique. Sometimes in a person’s life personality can go astray and be completely unbalanced causing difficulty in how an individual relates to the environment and to others around them. (Webster’s Dictionary 2010) Psychologists have named people with such an extreme in personality as possibly having what they call a personality disorder. A person may feel lonely, unhappy, and unaccepted by the general public.
Stress and Life Change Within this essay the term stress will be discussed and how life changes can affect people’s lives causing a person to feel stressed. Seiye (1956) defines stress as “The individual’s physchophysiological response, mediated largely by the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system, to any demands made on the individual.” (Gross 2001) p174 The essay will also cover and explore the evolutionary perspective focusing on how stress affects the sympathetic state and the endocrine system, and how primary and secondary appraisal fits in with this; it will also discuss how divorce, as a major life, change can have both positive and negative outcomes. Stress is something that can be termed differently by each individual, what it may mean to one person, it may mean something different to another, it could be that it is the meaning that an individual attaches to an experience rather that the experience itself, that causes one to feel stressed. Stress can also be a good thing, it can be what drives us to get out of bed each day and carry out daily routines. Lack of stress, termed as ‘distress’ can cause lack of motivation and boredom, which can have a negative effect on life and can lead to many other problems such as alcohol or drug abuse.
