Document Summary
Lecture 2 - current paradigms and the role of cultural factors. Conceptual framework or approach within which a scientist works. >clinicians are all trained in various disciplines of clinical psychology. >some are freudians or psychoanalytic therapists, behaviorists, cognitive psychologists, clinical neuropsychologists, and etc. >ways that clinicians study psychopathology, conduct doctoral researches, training by supervisors defines the way in which we approach the patients (the way we diagnose and treat the patients). >therefore the paradigm that a clinician adopts would have a profound impact on the patients because there are very different ways we diagnose and treat patients. >humanistic paradigm - the clinician may not even diagnose the patient but they will accept the person for who they are instead of labeling the person with major depressive disorder. In terms of treatment, the clinician would spend some time on the patient and bring insight to and counseling with them.
