As such, clinical psychology is an ever changing and growing scientific endeavor of procedure, practice, and treatment. History Influences and foundations leading to the development of clinical psychology dates back to ancient times and continued to evolve over centuries into the contemporary clinical psychology of present day. Proposing fluid imbalance as the cause of emotional states such as anger, sadness, and irritability Hippocrates devised the first physiological reasoning for dysfunction and disease (Plante, 2011). In contrast, Plato moved in a different direction by conceiving a more metaphysical idea of the soul and its effect on the physical world. It was not until Galen that a holistic theory of medicine was developed.
Discuss how theory and research in health psychology has been helpful or unhelpful in addressing human problems. As Seeman (1989) stated, “if there is one dominant sub system in its impact on health, it is the cognitive subsystem” (Seeman 1989,p108) ,this in all shows how health psychology has been playing a pivotal role in addressing human health problems to a greater extent, this area of applied psychology is contemporary health issue that why it has been selected because it is a key factor in today’s healthcare and subjective wellbeing sector as it plays a major role in improving the healthcare system and governments approach to health care policies. Marks (2011) describes health psychology as an applied field which relates to the application of psychological knowledge and techniques of health, healthcare systems and illnesses in addressing human health , social and biological problems. (Marks et al, 2011, p11). Because health psychology gives its emphasis to major approaches like the behavioural approach, the cognitive-behavioural, psychophysiological, clinical psychology, general systems theory approaches et al, these theories will always make a great positive impact on addressing human problem, because the main role of health psychology is to apply health psychology to the promotion and maintenance of health, the analysis and improvement of the health care system and health policy formation, the prevention of illness and disability and the enhancement of outcomes of those who are ill or disabled (APA Divison 38).
It is also a common model of reflection widely used within the health professions. The reason of its popularity is that it is clear and precise and allows to synthesise description, analysis and evaluation of the experience helping the reflective practitioner to make sense of experiences and examine their practice. Gibbs (1988) expresses that to reflect is not enough, it must be put into practice so that the learning and new understanding is gained. Gibbs model of reflection not only prompts the practitioner to formulate an action plan but at the same time empowers the reflective practitioner to look at their practice and see what they would change in the future, how they would develop/improve their practice. I have tried to incorporate the model in the essay to facilitate critical thinking and relating theory to practice in the essay.
Moreover, this paper compares how this technology is accessible and what this technology promises that it has been considered as a standard procedure for surgeries. Introduction Man has learned to maximize technology in creating something new that alleviates their lifestyle. Numerous inventions have shaped and developed the society. In the field of medicine, technology brought promising solutions. Diseases that were considered as fatal before can now be treated and even prevented.
The model of hypothetico deductive reasoning proposed by Elstein et al., (1978) served as the main frame work for the analysis. The major out come of the study was that although hypothetico deductive method of clinical reasoning appeared to be predominant in diagnostic procedure the collaboration between the therapist and patient occurred at various stages. Also it describes how therapist used collaborative information in patient’s management. This paper explores these findings and relating them to the research in the field of reasoning. This paper also includes discussion of findings, and employment of above mentioned models in physical therapy practise and how it is use full while teaching students in health profession.
As it develops, and practitioners become more proficient in various aspects of its application ore methods are also developed and employed in helping those with psychological problems. One such area of clinical practice that has come a long way over the course of the last century is that of treating substance abuse. By comparing the evolutionary history of clinical psychology, as well as the clinical treatment of substance abuse, including the evolution of treatment modalities involved in helping those with addictions, it can be made clearer to those in practice what has worked and what has not when making clinical decisions about what is best for a client who is on the road to recovery. Although psychology, in actuality, dates back far into human history, the concept of clinical psychology as a profession is relatively new and its development has taken a long and twisted road to become what it is today. Not only has the road been long and twisted, but it has also sometimes been foggy as to where it was going and even today it is sometimes unclear the path that those travelling along that road actually took.
“A deeper understanding of core human values emerges through consideration of the relationship between Frankenstein and Blade runner”. The timeless significance of the value of love and some it’s many subsidiaries – kindness, generosity, compassion, humility and respect – emerges strongly in an in-depth study of the relationship between Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ (1818) and Ridley Scott’s ‘Blade Runner’ (1992). Both of these texts examine the damaging consequences to individuals and society when there are those amongst us whose work is primarily underpinned by personal hubris and scientific ambition rather than love, respect and compassion. There are particular times in history when the potential of technological progress offer human beings opportunities to extend the borders of what has been considered scientifically possible and it is in times like these that values like love and humility should guide progress. ‘Frankenstein’ was written at one such critical time in human development: the Industrial Revolution was reaching its peak, achieving a range of technological feats never yet before imagined, creating the space for individuals to experiment endlessly with the possibilities of development.
Kees, N., & Lashwood, P. (1996). Compassion fatigue and school personnel: remaining open to the affective needs of students. Educational Horizons, 7, 541-44. Most of the research on compassion fatigue (CF) focuses on crisis workers, including health professionals and social workers. However, this source examines the role of CF as it relates to school personnel who are dealing with the emotional concerns of students.
Things such as cognitive reconstructive therapy this was developed during WW1 by Dr William H Rivers this is the process of learning/treatment used to explain things such as irrational thoughts “faulty thinking” with the aim of removing and or in some cases replacing irrational thoughts with more logical natural ones. This psychological approach was a great advance in mental health treatment and such a great discovery that it is still by far the most dominate psychology approach today its very useful as it has many practical applications to life for example on perception and memory as well as in education and the development of therapy. WW1 had significant influence on the development of mental health and psychological medicine it gave way for the practice of psychotherapy. Before the War there was certainly interest in Freudian ideas, but few actually used psychological methods to treat mental disorders. There was strong opposition from the psychiatric establishments, particularly to the Freudian emphasis on sexuality as underlying mental
As per the theorists who have made the valuable researches and recommendations in order to involve the effective communication. To highlight the roles of positivism as per humanistic concern to improve the communication process, many theorists made an effort in their research theorists were Carl Roger, Abraham Maslow, B.F skinner, Clarke Moustakas etc. Among all of the above mentioned theorists, Abraham Maslow's theories are applied in the health and social care sector. His theories were Humanistic, Behaviourist, Cognitive, Psychoanalytical, Social, biological, etc. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Abraham Maslow, an American Psychologist had a theory about human needs and what motives them.
