Education is important with this form of treatment so clients can recognize how different factors affect the course of the disease and what they can do to manage these factors (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342). Family therapy is also a means of treatment where family members as well as the client see a mental health provider to find solutions and ways to deal with the disorder. Family involvement provides structure and could increase adherence to treatment leading to delays or reductions in relapses (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342). Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy involves stabilizing social and circadian rhythms based on the hypotheses that unstable daily routines result in increased bipolar episodes in individuals prone to them (Steinkuller and Rheineck 349). Social rhythm therapy recognizes the need for regular sleep/wake cycles, regulation of meals, exercise, sleep and plans for keeping rhythms stable when disruptions occur.
The aim of this essay will be to explore these theories and relate them to my case study. Functionalism is significant within Health and Social care and relates to my case study specifically in that, a Functionalist would look at a situation or person and determine the purpose of their role, how different parts of the social system will be maintained, if the person's role suddenly changed due to ill health, how this would affect them, as well as society. (Crossman A, 2013).Emile Durkheim was one of the first theorists to study the sociological perspective which we know as Functionalism. It was suggested that, ‘Societies or social systems work like organic systems: they are made up of structures of cultural rules (established practices and beliefs, for instance) and people are expected to conform to them’ (Marsh I et al, 2009). According to Talcott Parsons who was also a
Running Head: Pros and Cons of Universal Healthcare Pros and Cons of Universal Healthcare: How it Impacts Cost, Access and Quality of Care Kailon Pinckney, Paulette Powell-Heath, Londa Philippeaux, Debbie Stoll-Thompson and Bridgette Ransom Strayer University Pros and Cons of Universal Healthcare PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of Universal health care is to provide health care to all individuals, which includes medical, dental, and mental health care. Universal health care is to preserve and improve health regardless of gender, race, region, age, health status, income, or wealth and is seen as a human right. According to the National Economic and Social Rights Initiative, (2008) The human right to health guarantees a system of health protection. Everyone has a right to enjoy, on an equal basis, a variety of facilities, goods, services, and conditions necessary for the realization of the highest attainable stand of health. This right includes access to appropriate health care, and to the underlying social determinants of health, such as adequate food, housing, and a healthy environment.

Holistic Medicine believes in the optimal acquisition of all these aspects of life. This system of health care refutes the separation of mind and body as considered and advocated in the traditional medicine. Holistic Medicine looks at mind, body and spirit as sub-parts, which form the person; a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. In other words, a whole (person) made up of its parts (mind, body and spirit) is greater in value than the individual sum of these parts. The Holistic Medicine intends to restore health and wellness to the person as a whole, rather than rectifying the diseased part alone.
Allport, in an attempt to define social psychology said it scientifically tried to explain the cognitions of the individual (for example behaviours) and how they are “influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of human beings” (Allport, 1954). In this essay I intend to start with writing about a few different social psychologists and a couple of famous studies to give a bit of background, before the crisis in social psychology. I then aim to develop this into showing what brought about the crisis - its contributions; I will address the various critiques of early experimental social psychology. After the contributions I will write about what happen after the “crisis” and assess if it had a big outcome on the discipline of social psychology. Social psychology has in roots in the beginning of the 20th century in America.
This science has allowed for collected data and theories to be tested and proven on the effects of exterior motives that implement individual behavior. Define social psychology Social psychology concentrates on individual behavior in a social context. Baron, Byrne & Suls (1989) define social psychology as “the scientific field that seeks to understand the nature and causes of individual behavior in social situations”. (p. 6). Social psychologist observe human behavior and significance of influence by outside sources such as people, society, environment, and culture.
This model contains standard testing providing comparison of individuals with similar traits allowing prediction of behavior outside an environment of testing. Utilization provides information to classify illnesses and disorders as well as defining a treatment program. Assessments within the psychological community have included such models to fabricate interventions, reinforcement, and desensitization of clients (McIntire & Miller, 2007). Significant Event in Development of Psychological Testing and Historical Roots A majority of psychologists find truth in that differences within individuals are a primary factor because of genetics and employment of aptitude assessments; superior groups of individuals can be raised systemically. Alpha and Beta assessments were conducted by Robert Yerkes during the First World War.
Nutrition is present in all life’s processes from conception, growth and maturity from childhood to adulthood right up until death. According to the World Health Organisation having good health depends not only on the absence of illness and disease; but also maintaining good health emotionally, physically and mentally (WHO, 1946). People must be motivated to give up behaviour that can lead to long term health risks and engage in good behaviour. Throughout this assignment the main focus will be on the importance of a healthy nutritional diet and maintaining an adequate level of hydration. Concentrating on the input of the health care professional, the family and also the challenges and obstacles that they may encounter.
