Psychological Perspectives M2 D1
Psychological Perspectives M2 D1. Unit 8
This assignment is an addition to my P2 and P3 which was a PowerPoint and I discussion I took part in about psychological perspectives. Throughout this assignment I am going to compare and discuss two psychological approaches.
There are many similarities and differences between all of the psychological approaches, however the two approaches I’m choosing to compare and evaluate are the humanistic approach and the cognitive approach.
The humanistic approach is patient centred and understands individuals all have different needs ad these can change depending on the individual’s characteristics, health state and their moods. The humanistic approach shows a lot of individualised care and looking mainly at the individuals themselves and how the care is meeting their set needs. The humanistic approach suggests behaviour is determined greatly by internal factors such as our emotions.
The cognitive approach is based around the notion that if we want to know what makes the human mind function and why certain behaviour is displayed, and then we need to understand the internal process of the mind. Cognitive psychology bases its focus on the way the human process information, it looks at how we use the information that we receive and how this lead to our behaviour. The cognitive approach refers to the human body as a machine.
Similarities: Cognitive approach & humanistic approach.
These two approaches to health and social care are very much alike in terms of both theorists focusing on the promotion of positive self-acceptance and trying to discourage the user from negative thoughts and not to judge themselves on past encounters. Both theorists want the user to accept any failures or mistakes as a part of their life and not to let it affect other situations, and to process there mistakes to improve their coping strategies, within health and social care both theorists try and promote there user’s acceptance of who they are.
