Dunedine cohort study
large group of people from birth through life
- by the time people get to middle age, 86% have met one diagnostic criteria for at least one psychological disorder
freud
psychological mechanisms observed in disorders are observable in everyday life to a lesser extent
two classifications of mental illness
categorical and dimensional
DMS-5-TR diagnosis made on the basis of
- clinical interview
- text descriptions
- diagnostic criteria
- clinician assessment
freudian paradigm
unconscious has a profound influence on what we do and how we feel in day-to-day life
- have to be aware of unconscious motivations to choose adaptive/maladaptive behaviour
behavioural paradigm - skinner
not about your subconscious but the associations you’ve made
- goal of behavioural intentions are to interrupt and/or change stimulus-response associations
cognitive paradigm - Beck
what you think is going to happen
- what we think determines how we act and feel from that point (adaptive or maladaptive)
biopsychosocial paradigm
biological; normal biology, disease processes and genetic influences
psychological; thoughts, feelings and perceptions
social/environmental; culture, ethnicity, social environment
transdiagnostic model
move away from ‘each type of mental illness is associated with unique underlying cognitive and potentially neurological factors’
attributional questionnaire

attributional questionnaire factors
- fear/dangerousness
- help/interact
- responsibility
- forcing treatment

internal; past experiences, personality, family disposition
medical illness
behavioural model of depression
posits that certain environmental changes, avoidant behaviours –> stop environmental reward and reinforcement –> leads to depressive symptoms
beck’s cognitive model of depression
schema –> beliefs, rules and assumptions based on early experiences
negative events –> establish negative/dysfunctional schema

A = activating event (what was happening when negative feelings were experiences)
B = belief (beliefs or thoughts about the activating event)
C = consequence (feelings, behaviours performed)
