Study Notes
Mental Health, Personality, and Coping Mechanisms
- Deinstitutionalism aims to reintegrate patients into society as independent and productive members, but not all patients can achieve full independence.
- Mental health encompasses seven important characteristics, including the ability to determine reality, possess a healthy self-concept, and demonstrate adaptability.
- Personality forms an enduring pattern of behavior and characteristics, influenced by heredity, birth order, environment, and the neurological system.
- Freud's three functional components of the mind are the id, ego, and superego, with anxiety resulting from the ego balancing impulsive id with strict superego.
- Coping mechanisms are conscious responses to challenging events, while defense mechanisms are unconscious processes that relieve anxiety, but can become maladaptive.
- Defense mechanisms such as denial, repression, suppression, dissociation, and reaction formation can be overused and interfere with reality, relationships, or occupational functioning.
- Mental illness involves clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndromes that interfere with daily functioning and judgment.
- Competency is a legal assessment of a person's ability to make reasonable judgments, and voluntary commitment occurs when a patient signs themselves into a psychiatric unit.
- Involuntary commitment is initiated by someone other than the client, involves formal petitions and assessments by physicians, and can result in emergency, short-term, or long-term hospitalization.
