Study Notes
Early Approaches to Mental Illness
- Moral Treatment was a humane approach used in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
- La Bicêtre hospital in Paris saw significant changes in patient treatment, emphasizing kindness and removing restraints.
- Pinel wasn't present for patient releases, and Rush believed fear could cure mental illness.
- Moral treatment focused on patient interaction with attendants through activities like reading and conversation.
- Moral treatment declined in the late 19th century despite Dorothea Dix's efforts to establish hospitals for mental health.
- Dorothea Dix played a crucial role in establishing more mental hospitals in the United States in the 19th century.
Biological Approaches
- The nervous system's anatomy and workings were understood to some extent by the mid-1800s, but not enough to determine if brain abnormalities caused mental disorders.
- Franz Anton Mesmer believed in "animal magnetism", a concept that was used to explain the influence of invisible forces on the body, later associated with hypnosis.
- Jean-Martin Charcot studied hysteria through a biological viewpoint, initially linking it to nervous system problems. He later shifted to psychological explanations.
Psychodynamic Approach
- Freud believed that unconscious conflicts shape psychopathology, leading to his psychoanalytic theory.
- Freud and his followers explored the influence of unconscious forces on human behavior.
The Biopsychosocial Approach
- This approach integrates biological, psychological, and social factors to understand mental illness.
- It emphasizes the importance of heritability and the complex interaction between genes and the environment.
Genetics and Environment
- Almost all behavioral traits are heritable to some degree.
- Genes do not operate in isolation from the environment, they influence and are shaped by the environment.
- Shared environment includes factors common to family members, while the nonshared environment refers to individual experiences.
- Nonshared environment plays a larger role in mental illness development than shared environment.
Behavior Genetics
- It studies how genes and environmental factors affect behavior.
- Genotype represents an individual's genetic makeup, while phenotype represents observable behavioral characteristics.
- Genetic expression changes over time, influencing various aspects of development.
- Additive Model proposes that the presence of a diathesis and stress combine to cause mental illness, with higher diathesis requiring less stress to trigger a disorder.
- Interactive Model emphasizes the necessity of a certain level of diathesis for stress to have an effect.
Protective Factors
- Some factors can help individuals navigate stress and prevent mental illness.
- Examples include high intelligence, achievement, self-esteem, and easygoing temperament.
- Protective factors often contribute to resilience, the ability to cope with challenging situations.
DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)
- The history of DSM-5 involved several revisions and updates.
- The process involved work groups, literature reviews, data analysis, and public feedback.
- DSM-5 aims to provide a standardized and reliable system for diagnosing mental disorders.
DSM-5 Axes
- Axis I includes clinical disorders.
- Axis II covers personality disorders and mental retardation.
- Axis III focuses on general medical conditions.
- Axis IV addresses psychosocial and environmental problems.
- Axis V includes the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale, measuring a person's overall level of functioning in social, occupational, and leisure areas.
