Psychologists and Psychiatrists
Psychologists attend a graduate, post graduate or Ph. D program in psychology and identify mental health conditions focusing on the patient's thoughts and emotional state
Psychiatrists study medicine, specialize in the connections between the brain and behavior & primarily look at chemical imbalances<br>
11
Psychologists assess and test the patient’s overall mental health overall and provide treatment called counseling or psychotherapy.
They cannot, prescribe medications, nor can they perform medical procedures.<br>
12
Psychologists work closely with a psychiatrist who handles the medical treatment of a patient's mental illness, while the psychologist handles the psychotherapy<br>
Biological Perspective is the scientific study of the biological bases of behaviour and mental process very closely related to neurosciences<br>
15
Psychoanalytical Perspective is founded by Sigmund Freud.
emphasizes the role of the unconscious mind, early childhood experiences and interpersonal relationship to explain human behaviour and to treat people suffering from mental illnesses<br>
16
Behavioural Psychotherapy is a perspective that focuses on learned behaviours.
Today the behavioural perspective is concerned with how behaviour is learned and reinforced.<br>
17
Humanistic Perspective is influenced greatly by the work of prominent humanists such as Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow.
This perspective emphasizes on the role of motivation of thoughts and behaviour<br>
18
Cognitive Approach – This area of psychology focuses on mental processes such as memory, thinking, problem solving, languages and decision making.<br>
19
Social Cultural Perspective maintains that behaviour and mental processes are shaped not only by prior learning experiences (the behaviour perspective) or intra-psychic forces (e.g. the unconscious) but also by the Social or Cultural context<br>
