In the past, a one-cause approach was more accepted to understanding psychopathological behavior. Today, it is more accepted that there are multiple causes that can explain the development of mental illness.
For this Assignment, you will compare and contrast the early ways of thinking about psychological disorders to today's current view and explain the multi-dimensional model and the major approaches (theorized causes) of mental illness.
1. Explain what early thoughts and beliefs existed about what caused mental illness.
2. Describe how one of the psychological traditions helped further the beliefs about what causes mental illness (Freud's psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious, humanism, or the behavioral model).
3. Explain the idea of a multi-dimensional approach and how it differs from a single approach to understanding the major causes of mental illness.
4. Last, provide an overview of the major approaches of a multi-dimensional integrated model listed in the textbook. For each major approach, include its central tenant(s) as it relates to the explanation (or cause) of mental illness. The major approaches that provide an explanation or cause for the development of mental illness are biological approach (genetics and neurological factors), psychological approach (cognitive and behavioral factors, including the unconscious), emotions approach, social and cultural approach, and the developmental approach. For example, from the biological approach, an imbalance of neurochemicals is believed to influence (or cause) behavioral changes.
