Study Notes
5Ps Narrative Approach
- Presenting Issues: Identify the problems that bring the consumer into treatment, including mental health, AOD, and other psychological, social, health, legal, accommodation, and financial issues.
- Presenting Issues: Go beyond just mental health and AOD problems to consider the broader range of issues affecting the consumer.
Predisposing Factors
- Background Factors: Identify issues in the consumer's childhood, adolescence, and adulthood that increase the likelihood of developing social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties.
- Biopsychosocial Factors: Consider historical events and biopsychosocial factors that contribute to the development of difficulties.
Precipitating Factors
- Triggers: Identify the key events or factors that trigger the consumer's difficulties and lead to accessing services.
- Onset Events: Recognize the specific events that mark the beginning of the consumer's difficulties.
Perpetuating Factors
- Maintaining Factors: Identify the factors in the consumer's life, behavior, beliefs, and psychological or physical states that maintain the presenting issues or cycles of behavior.
- Cycles of Behavior: Recognize the patterns of behavior that perpetuate the presenting issues.
Protective Factors
- Individual Strengths: Identify the consumer's strengths and resources that offer hope and promote resilience.
- Systemic Strengths: Recognize the systemic strengths that exist alongside the presenting issue, promoting resilience and hope.

The 4 Ps of Therapy
- The 4 Ps stand for Predisposing, Precipitating, Perpetuating, and Protective factors, used to conceptualize the formulation and treatment of a mental disorder or presenting problem.
Formulation in Therapy
- Formulation is a personalized puzzle-solving process to understand the roots of a client's difficulties.
- It involves gathering and organizing information about thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and life experiences to provide clarity on why problems persist and how they are interconnected.
- Formulation helps therapists tailor treatment strategies to the individual, making therapy more effective.
Predisposing Factors
- Predisposing factors are risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing a particular mental illness.
- They can be biological (e.g., genetic predisposition, prenatal exposure to toxins, brain injuries), psychological (e.g., personality traits, coping mechanisms, cognitive biases), or social (e.g., environmental stressors, childhood trauma, social isolation).
- Examples of predisposing factors include genetic loading, where mental health issues have significant genetic components, and upbringing, where children learn and adopt unhelpful behaviors from their parents.
Precipitating Factors
- Precipitating factors refer to the immediate issues or events that trigger the onset of mental health problems.
- Examples of precipitating factors include highly stressful events (e.g., breakup of a relationship, loss of employment), traumatic events (e.g., sexual assault), or subtle events (e.g., working long hours and weekends leading to burnout).
Perpetuating Factors
- Perpetuating factors are behaviors or environmental factors that maintain or worsen a mental illness.
- Examples of perpetuating factors include lack of supportive relationships, poor coping strategies (e.g., ruminating), or environmental factors (e.g., lack of stable income, social isolation, bullying).
- Therapy can help identify and work on these factors to regain and maintain functioning.
Protective Factors
- Protective factors are factors that decrease the likelihood of developing or getting stuck with a mental health problem.
- Examples of protective factors include coping skills, a positive support system, a secure attachment style, financial stability, good health, and a positive outlook on the future.
- Identifying protective factors can help clients build resilience and develop strategies for coping with stressors.
Presenting Problem
- The presenting problem is what the client describes as their symptoms or difficulties.
- The 4 Ps work together to create and maintain the presenting problem, with predisposing factors increasing the likelihood of developing a mental illness, precipitating factors triggering the onset, protective factors decreasing the likelihood, and perpetuating factors maintaining or worsening the problem.
