Personal Development: Introduction to Different Perspectives on Mental Health
We will explore the experience of mental distress from four very different viewpoints. Each has something to offer, none has the whole story.
· The Biological aims to understand what is going on in the brain and the body. It underpins the medical model.
· The Psychological perspectives seek to explain our mental states in terms of our thinking, feelings and habits. It’s all in the mind.
· The Social perspective shifts the focus away from the individual. It is society that needs to change.
· A Spiritual perspective goes beyond our limited sense of self to seek deeper meaning in our life journey.
