Psychology: Perspectives on Mental Health Part 1 (online)
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.
