187 Words1 Page

Nevertheless, this is only the primary care when it comes to person-centred counselling and secondary in other types of care. The model concentrates on the here and now and this may be a limitation as previous events may need addressing to. If a past event or past trauma is the issue, can PCT have the same prognosis as the psychodynamic model? The psychodynamic approach looks into the client’s past and is more so directive with given homework. PCT may also not be as effective with phobias compared to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Again, another model that is directive however goal

  • Applying Erickson's Psychodynamic Theory

    I remember that I have studied Erickson 's theory before at least three times, but when I read about it during this week assignment, I found some answers for many questions about the therapeutic applications for the theory. As Adler-Tapia, R. (2012) stated that “conceptualizing psychotherapy with Erickson 's stages of psychological development helps the therapist to formulate theories of when the client did not successful awareness each stage of psychological development” (p. 25). For me this is a kind of direct answer of how to integrate the theory into the practical intervention with client. Also, the examples of the Behaviorism theory were very useful for me to know more about the application of the theory because the author was talking about real clients

    Introduction Recently it has become more evident that people with lower intelligence may have a higher risk of developing a mental illness. Research has shown that children and adolescents who score lower on psychometric tests of intelligence are at a greater risk of having contact with psychiatric services and being admitted to the hospital for psychiatric care (Gale, Hatch, Batty & Deary, 2009). Several different psychiatric diagnoses have been looked at in this context, such as schizophrenia (Gunnell, Harrison, Rasmussen, Fouskakis, &Tynelius, 2002), depression, bipolar disorder and other non-affective psychoses (Zammit, et al., 2004). Cognitive epidemiology research has looked at childhood IQ as predictors for health later in life,

  • Biopsychosocial Model Analysis

    248 Words  | 1 Pages

    The biopsychosocial model is the most widely accepted and heuristic perspective on CP. Specifically, proponents of the biopsychosocial model view physical illnesses, such as pain, as the result of the dynamic interaction among physiologic, psychological, and social factors, which perpetuates and may even worsen the clinical presentation of the illness (Gatchel et al., 2007). Proponents of biopsychosocial model acknowledge the biological bases that underlie most pain conditions, but also note that psychosocial factors may contribute to the experience and impact of pain. Models that only include one or two of these constructs are thought to be incomplete and inadequate (Gatchel et al., 2007). Biopsychosocial conceptualizations of CP have

  • The Biopsychosocial Model

    1198 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Biopsychosocial model (Suls & Rothman, 2004) is one of the earliest multi-dimensional models of the health field. This model demonstrates the interaction between biological and social factors in regard to disease analysis. It displays levels above and below a person arranged from global systems at the top and genetic systems at the bottom. In the Social and Behavioral Foundations of Public Health, Coreil (2010) describes how the biopsychosocial is more concerned with the biological systems within the human body and pays greater attention to this interplay. In the case study, Cockerham (2013) details how social conditions act as the ultimate causes of diabetes and diabetes related fatalities in the community of East Harlem.
