Discriminatory practices are very influential on the people that use health and social care services; I will explain these effects and give examples. (1) Marginalisation is when you feel like you are not liked within a group or in other words you don’t feel like you are a part of a group or society.In health and social care everyone should be treated equal and marginalisation is not allowed. An example of this is a youth worker excluding a homosexual teenager based on his sexuality. (1) Disempowerment is to make someone feel devalued this could happen to either an individual or groups. The victim could be discriminated by a valued group/individual or powerful group/individual.
It could be argued that labelling and the consequent stigma that evolves from it is a pre-cursor to the self-fulfilling prophecy, in that people may concur with the stereotype. In a review of the literature and first-hand accounts relating to self-stigma, Green (2009) concludes that they attest to the pervasiveness of self stigma and its impact which is “associated with social withdrawal, self-devaluation, impediments to employment and social relationships and an overall sense of dehumanization leading people with stigmatizing conditions such as mental illness to ‘thinking of myself as garbage’. Green (2009) p.17 Labelling theory (originally an aspect of criminology) relates to a deviance from social norms; “Rule
I do believe the unpleasant arousal and negative emotions would simply be temporary, if the experiment was conducted in accordance to American Psychological Association (APA) ethical guideline, and the IRB. I would judge the ethics of the study based on the way the researchers and experimenters handle the debriefing. I feel that deception, at times is a necessary tool social psychologist need to understand and generalize certain phenomena. Elm’s discusses the need for deception for increased external validity. He argues that if participants know what behaviors and emotions researchers
This is the contradicting of Jung. Jung has analysis himself to experience the unconscious through his dreams and fantasia Jung believe that he was strong enough to make dangerous journey and come back to talk about it. His goal was to understand the unconscious from the purpose viewpoint of scientist. Ellis thoughts are that society is more disturbs and it more inclusive and exact “people disturb themselves by thing that have happen to them. And by the view, feelings, and actions” (p16) Horney’s (1950) also Adler writes that our Emotional reactions and lifestyle are associated with our basic beliefs and are therefore cognitively created.
The deviant is one to whom that label has successfully been applied; deviant behavior is behavior that people so label." – Howard Becker, 1963. Labeling theory has its roots in Emile Durkheims studies into suicide where he expressed the view that deviance and crime is not so much about a specific violation of a penal code but more of an act that differs exceptionally from the social norm. Many people are labeled deviant even if they have not broken a specific law or even committed a crime. Society generally labels an individual as deviant if they differ from the social norms in appearance or behavior.
In a world full of fears, perhaps the worst one a human being should haveis that to be afraid of his fellow man. The human that should be mostfeared is the one that has Anti-Social Personality Disorder or in laymen’sterms the psychopath. The psychopath is probably the most deviant mindthat exists and treatment is not very successful because there is not a cureor drug to control it. The solution in my mind to control the problem ofsociopaths is to let them live in colonies with each other. Through myresearch I will develop an understanding of this personality disorder andconvince you the reader that my solution might be a viable solution.
These theories are different because Psychodynamic theory deals with mental disorders such as schizophrenia, depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and nonschizophrenia psychotic disorders. These people hear voices in their heads telling them what to do, as for people with behavioral disorder do what they were praised for doing as a child and with a personality disorder, they lacked the love and attention and do what they see
For example, one psychologist may use descriptive psychopathology to which will strive to provide answers for symptoms or mental illness. Either way, psychopathology is formally used to study mental illness or the distresses which may be affecting an individual. The issues of the abnormal psychology will assist in the study by the way we would use it in the attempt to capture interest, trigger concerns, and demands our attention. It also brings us to form and ask certain questions pertaining to any study. Psychopathology is not the same as psychopathy, which has to do with antisocial
For example could cause the person to become depressed, isolate themselves or to feel scared and alone. Positive factors that could impact on the inderviduals life is that they will get incresed help, aids for support, and the right support team around them such as carers, nurses social services etc could give them a better quality and outlook on life. 1.2 Analyse how societal attitudes and beliefs impact idividuals with sensory loss. Societal attitudes and beliefs can impact on individuals with sensory loss in quite a negative way because people in society can be very judgemental. People in society can also be very prejudice and ignorant by acting and thinking they are better than people with sensory loss, also people who do not understand or who are ignorante to sensory loss think that because that person is different to them they think it gives them the right to make fun about them and this makes life difficult for the person with sensory loss, this could cause the person to become very withdrawn, isolated or become depressed.
The cognitive model portrays the individual as being the cause of their behaviour; therefore they are in control. This is different the other three models, where abnormal behaviour is thought to be determined by factors such as genetic(biological) or unconsciousness (psychodynamic) which are outside of individual’s control. The strength of the cognitive model is that it focuses on people’s experiences and feelings, therefore it‘s able to give the individual treatment by focusing on the cause of their illness and making the patient feel better. Moreover this model gives the person scope and responsibility to increase power and change. This means that it is giving the patient the power to improve their conditions and self defeating their irrational thoughts with the help of cognitive behavioural therapy.
