    The Medical Model view both behavioral and emotional problems as a mental illness. Mental health is basically defined as having a state of well-being were each person realizes their own potential, ability to cope with stressful normality and can be productive by being able to make a contribution to the community. The approach of this model derived from a notion of being emotionally disturbed by demons and declared mad. The perception then led to “disturbed” individuals to be in need of help as it stimulated research that promoted developmental therapeutic approaches. The Interactional Model asserts that medical labels have no diagnostic or treatment value and frequently have an adverse effect.…

    In this article, Lived Experience Practitioners and the Medical Model: World’s Colliding? by Louise Byrne, Brenda Happell, and Kerry Reid-Searl, the main issue that is being discussed is the discriminations in the workforce that the Lived Experience Practitioners (LEP) have experienced from their non-lived experience colleagues and how that is stopping the LEPs from making an impact on reforming the mental health services. Promoting the recovery focus, which is more consumer-oriented, rather than strictly labeling/diagnosing and then putting the patient on medication that they might not have needed it. The problem is the unbalanced power between the LEPs and other health professionals and a critical need for the development of the LEPs within…

    The DSM also does not consider the impact of receiving an actual diagnosis and being placed into treatment facilities. The memoir displayed intense symptoms and changes in mood while being hospitalized. Obviously prior to treatment a diagnosis is given, but this can also alter the way a patient feels and reacts. “Depression is much too complex in its cause, its symptoms, and its treatments” (Styron, 1990, pg. 36) which is why it cannot be completely explained in the DSM-5…

    Defending Jazz As African-American artists, LeRoi Jones, poet, playwright, and jazz critic, and Max Roach, drummer and jazz lecturer, believe that jazz is a representation of African-American culture and attitudes about the world. More importantly, they believe that the creation of jazz music is reserved for only African-Americans. This is evident when Roach says in his essay, “Beyond Categories”: “I am often asked, ‘Can whites play your kind of music?’ My answer is ‘Yes’... But no whites have ever contributed to the creative or innovative aspects of black music” (Roach 268), and when Jones comments in his essay, “Jazz and the White Critic”: “Negro music, like the Negro himself, is strictly an American phenomenon” (Jones 235).…

    Frances points out that although there are issues with psychiatry itself, it is not what makes they system as faulty but rather that there are other people who put their ideas in using money. It was through their motives that there was an expansion in the DSM. Now it has become such a big issue that people are self-diagnosing themselves and it is almost impossible to find someone without some kind of disorder. Chapter four talks about prior fads. In simple terms when an illness starts it will circulate and then it will die out.…

    The disorders, the names, the treatment, the “solutions”, seem to never. It is not a name with a needle welcoming the voices in, but a man with an ear and pen ready to silence or quiet them to be more bearable. The voices and mood swings are the patients and doctors secret, but the insanity is everyone’s show. The ability to be…

    For the Rhetorical Analysis assignment, I will review a sample writing of a clinical assessment of the patient Jill Sprat. The clinical assessment refers to a possible mental illness regarding the patient. Audience analysis The audience in a clinical assessment is usually directed to peers involved in the observation or treatment of the patient, it is required to have some background of the topic to comprehend the situation. However this specific sample does not require much previous knowledge since it is a very common illness the one that is being referred to. In my point of view this assessment can be directed to Doctors who are in search of a possible mental illness of the patient.…

    The early years of psychiatric field have provided the media with material for horror stories for ages now. Starting with colonial America, where people chained their ‘disturbed’ relatives and neighbors to the metal poles or locked them in small rooms for their entire lives, and ending with asylums, where doctors and nurses indulged in cruel behavior toward the patients, experimenting with inhumane methods of subduing the insane with lobotomy and electroconvulsive therapy. But is this picture painted by the horror movies entirely accurate? During the colonial times, ‘distracted persons’ were a responsibility of their families.…

    The typical entry for a disorder consisted of a description one paragraph long, to be compared to the patient. It mirrored another system very closely called the Medical 203 system. Both had standard psychoanalytic categories of neurotic, psychotic, and character disorders. The DSM had six somatization disorders that were not included in the Medical 203. Neither had a section for childhood disorders.…

    The lack of reliability in diagnosis found from the field tests impacts on evidence based practice and treatments for the disorders. It can be argued that if the problem cannot be assessed reliably then the definition of the disorder is undermined and this in turn impacts evidence based treatments (Lacasse, 2014). Diagnosis is also flawed under the DSM-5 in the aspect of culture. Some cultures may see what is defined as abnormal behaviour in others as defined as…

    1.)As an individual highly interested in pursing a career in the filed of psychiatry, this chapter included very valuable information on the different therapeutic approaches. I must also point out that I have a great respect for biomedical therapies, as it is a point of interest for choosing psychiatry as my intended career choice and has shown to significantly improve the lives of many suffering from psychological disorders. However, putting biomedical therapies aside I have gained great appreciation for cognitive behavior therapy. This type of therapy combines the idea of cognitive behavior that “thinking colors our feelings” so we are capable of changing the way we think (a concept I very much enjoyed reading about) and the way we act in order to overcome disorders. I think this approach is one of the best, as it not only would influence one to think in a more positive way but also to act upon those positive feelings, the positivity it fuels is highly…

    Human nature and abnormal behavior are defined very differently by the several counseling theories. One could say that two of the most contradictory theories are: Psychodynamic (PD) versus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Both of them attempt to relieve clients of emotional distress, however, the underlying reasons of why the distress occurs, and how the counselor helps the client relieve it, differs highly between the two theories. One of the first and most revolutionary theories in the history of psychology was the Psychodynamic theory. Even though it was originally funded by Freud, many of his students and followers imparted their own theories (e.g Jung, Erikson.)…
