Document Summary
The answer to the question doesn"t seem that easy since there are three types of factors: biological, psychological or socio-cultural factors. While the biopsychological model states that we should take all three factors into account, there were still groups that favored their point of view. Behaviorists (watson) argued that behavior was learner rather than innate. The psychological perspective: the psychological perspective agrees that some innate knowledge and behaviors may be the starting point of mental life, but disagrees about the possibility that human behavior is primarily based on biological factors. Therefore treatments of chronic pain require as much psychological help as biological interventions: cognitive processes in depression: pathogenic thoughts are the core problem of depression and cognitive psychotherapies are highly effective. Why are people aggressive: death drive: a concept introduced by freud in which humans have two innate drives: eros and death.
