Document Summary
Ways of thinking about mental illness: as a spiritual problem. Behavioural model: mental disorder is primarily learned behaviour, rather than physiological illness or a psychological conflict, people conditioned to behave in mentally ill ways, must unlearn deviant behaviours, focused on the here and now. 3 of 52: treatment: cbt (journal feelings as a test approaches, forcing someone into an anxious situation so they can get over it. ) Why so many models: some explanations work better with different types of disorders, some people find particular models offensive/gratifying, groups may benefit from one model than another, many advocate for biopsychosocial model. Mental disorder: significant and involuntary deviations from what is usually considered (cid:3247)normal(cid:3248) behaviour in a particular group or society. Deviance: any act or behaviour that violates social norms with a given social system. the behaviour must also interfere with a persons ability.
