It is imperative for case managers to use intervention practices that will prevent risks, reduce the negative behavior, and promote productivity and success. Intervention practices are included in case management plans because they serve as actions to improve life situations. The concept with helping clients in the criminal justice is complex because each person is different and unique, so therefore, the treatment and services have to be different to promote success. In order for clients to change their behavior, they must change their way of thinking. References Freeman, D. W. 2001.
Why do some people object to the term ‘mental illness’? To understand the complexity of the term ‘mental illness’, it is necessary to explore a diverse range of perspectives on varying topics that often arise within the ‘world’ of mental health. Using the elements of the K225 course model as a basis for exploration, this essay shall aim to demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the individual experiences that could lead to possible reasons why, some people may not be in favour of the term ‘mental illness’. (Unit 1, p.19). The ‘world’ of mental health briefly consists of people, services, policy, and legislation.
Key legislation such as; The disability discrimination act 1995 - An Act to make it unlawful to discriminate against disabled persons in connection with employment, the provision of goods, facilities and services or the disposal or management of premises; to make provision about the employment of disabled persons; and to establish a National Disability Council. Safeguarding Vulnerable groups act 1996 - An Act to make provision in connection with the protection of children and vulnerable adults. Mental capacity Act 2005 - The Act aims to empower and protect people who may not be able to make some decisions for themselves. It also enables people to plan ahead in case they are unable to make important decisions for themselves in the future. Every care worker should be aware of the five key principles from Mental Capacity Act: · Every adult has the right to make his or her own decisions and must be assumed to have capacity to make them unless it is proved otherwise.
CRITICALLY EXPLORE DISABLED PEOPLE’S EXPERIENCES OF THE PERSONALISATION AGENDA WITH PARTICULAR FOCUS UPON EMPOWERMENT AND RISK The essay is going to describe personalisation agenda while focusing upon empowerment and risk. It is also going to discuss the origins of this framework and how the disabled people have been treated in the past. However, the essay will look at how the disability movement had impacted on those receiving care. It shall be essential for the essay to deliberate about the new policies relating to personalisation and also defining what personalisation is all about. In fact, before the establishment of the disability movement, disabled people were placed at the edge of community life rather than in the main flow.
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.
For example, the Carers of disabled older people may need to seek residential respite placements due to barriers experienced in accessing local facilities. Lastly, anti-discriminatory practice is a means of demonstrating respect towards others that forms the basis of trusting working relationships. Discrimination involves a range of processes and takes place on a number of levels: personal, cultural and structural (Thompson 2001). On a personal level, discrimination is evident through personal prejudice. An example would be the use of derogatory racist language or assumptions, such as ‘all fat people are stupid or
Building on this work, others (notably Marshall, 2004) have advocated that dementia should be regarded as a disability and framed within a social model. The social model, as developed in relation to disability, understands disability not as an intrinsic characteristic of the individual, but as an outcome produced by social processes of exclusion. Thus, disability is not something that exists purely at the level of individual psychology, but is a condition created by a combination of social and material factors including income and financial support, employment, housing, transport and the built environment (Barnes et al., 1999). From the perspective of the social model, people with dementia may have an impairment (perhaps of cognitive function) but their disability results from the way they are treated by, or excluded from, society. For people with dementia, this model carries important implications, for example: ● the condition is not the ‘fault’ of the individual ● the focus is on the skills and capacities the person retains rather than
Such positions result in the person with dementia having a reduced sense of personal worth and can compound his or her feelings of loss, cause embarrassment and humiliation. Positioning Theory Positioning theory explains how the persona of a person with dementia is constructed by others on the basis of their diagnosis. For example, whether a person with dementia is seen as a valued social being or perceived as a problem can place the person with dementia in either a positive or negative
However each perspective is to address the disorder and disease. Each perspective will also address the human behavior from different viewpoints. The diversity, divisions, and subtopics will have different affects on other disciplines. Lifespan development and abnormal psychology will not only affect other disciplines and fields of psychology, but neuroscience ad education as well (Hansell & Damour, 2008). The diversity between psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral shows the psychological views with the goal to resolve human conflict and improve one’s quality of life.
