Recommended: Social interactions play a crucial role in cognitive development of an individual

As Scoufe, et. al. discusses, interpersonal relationships are fundamental on individuals and those who are diagnosed with a mental health disorder. The article explains the relationships as indicators of disorders, risk and protective factors as well as in terms with regards to psychopathology. These relationships can assist to further understand the origin and course of the disorder and how the pathology is defined. Relationship problems in an individual are often indicators of disturbance which is often describes the criteria for classification. These relationship problems are part of the DSM systems which determines that there is a problem to warrant a diagnosis but also determines the specific classification. On the other hand, early relationship are viewed as the origin of the disorders while relationship disturbance represent the source of psychopathology. Social relationship are also key in the individual since relationships with caregivers, peers and others are important in the development framework of psychopathology.
RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS AS A CRITERIA FOR DISORDER
Relationship problems in a individual are key component when diagnosis a person. These issues are often indicators in a disorder, it can lead to a referral and diagnosis. An individual with interpersonal relationship problem have a difficulties creating investments with their partners, peers and others.

...SHIP IN DEVELOPMENT PERPECTIVE
Scoufe, et. al explains that the Bowley model is probabilistic instead of deterministic. There are many predictors of outcomes that can be found in a individual's a early assessment of their childhood and infancy. Some of the these predictors can be life stress experienced by family and changes in caregivers. The individual's attachment is not only criteria can predict a person to be diagnosed with a disorder. Nevertheless, these are important risk factors that we must consider when diagnosis a person. A person's interpersonal connections with others and emotional regulation are crucial since it can provide us with patterns of behavior and emotional organization.

  • A Discussion of Disco Di

    1727 Words  | 4 Pages

    Mental health is not the mere absence of illness but it is the sense of harmony and balance for the individual. Aspects associated with the individual include self-worth, sense of accomplishment, and a positive identity (Fontaine, 2009), where as mental illness is the disharmony someone is experiencing. This disharmony affects not only the individual but their friends and family as well as the surrounding community. This disharmony causes the person to be unable to function properly in many aspects of their life (Fontaine, 2009). Disco Di started to display signs of mental illness from the young age of 12. Her behaviours may have been triggered by a traumatic event and have been interfering with her life ever since. I agree with the diagnosis that Disco Di was given which was an Axis I diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Axis II diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). This paper is going to explain why I agree with these diagnoses as well as genetic and cultural factors and treatment method for them.

  • Early Emotional Child Development

    2349 Words  | 5 Pages

    There are few fields within the child development science. One of them is represented by the psychoanalytical theory, which looks at the child emotional development within the context of social interaction and early attachments. This framework is called psychosocial as it looks on the emotional and social aspects. Running in parallel and influencing each other there are two more main areas, cognitive and physical. Although I am focusing on the aspects of the psychosocial development, it is important to remember that all these areas are being affected one by the other, where the development of the emotional skills plays central role in a regular development of cognitive and physical skills.

  • Analysis Of My Virtual Life Simulation

    Proper childhood development is sometimes very difficult to achieve, whether it is your first or fifth child, there are some obstacles to be faced along the way. Somewhere, on the journey of development, we make mistakes. During My Virtual Life Simulation, I utilized Erickson’s stages of personality development theory to raise my child, Peanut. This theory is based on crises derived from conflicts. According to Erickson, one faces subsequent stages of conflict resolution during development, which leads to moving on to the next stage, whether one has resolved the conflict successfully or not (Feldman, 2017, p. 289-291). In this paper, I will describe the difference in development from the age of 0-18 with my child, Peanut, who was unsuccessful

  • Ethical dilemmas in Psychological Practice

    The author’s client is terminating therapy because he or she lets her know that they would like to begin some form of social relationship after therapy has terminated. In response, the author explains to the client that she will allow a social relationship with her client only if it is beneficial to helping the continual positive progress of treating their issues. The American Psychological Association Ethical Principles of Psychologist and Code of Conduct Section 3.05 on multiple relationships states that a multiple relationship takes place when a psychologist is in a professional role with a person and at the same time is in another role with the same person. It also states that the psychologist is in a relationship with a person closely connected with the person whom the psychologist has the relationship with, or agrees to enter into another relationship in the future with connected with the person (Zur Institute, 2011).

  • A Comparison Of Erikson And Piaget

    1057 Words  | 3 Pages

    Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development proposes that a child progress through eight stages of development throughout their lifespan (Dunkel & Harbke, 2016). Each stage is characterized by a new conflict which indicates a turning point in their life. Each conflict must be resolve before successfully entering into the next stage of development (Knight, 2017). Each stage of development is built upon the previous stage and presents the child with unique challenges. Conflicts that remain unresolved will continue to cause developmental problems throughout the child's life. For example, stage 1 of the 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development Theory describes a conflict turning point of Trust versus Mistrust (Knight, 2017). Successfully completing this stage could mean the difference of a child having a struggle with mistrust issues into adulthood (Gordon & Browne, 2016). According to Dunkel and

  • The Social Learning Theory Of Albert Bandura's Attachment Theory

    960 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first theory that will be explored and further critiqued is Attachment theory a basic explanation of this theory is “Attachment is a deep and enduring emotional bond that connects one person to another across time and space”(McLeod, 2009) The attachment between one person to another does not have to be reciprocal, this is because it is characterized by the specific behaviours in children alone, for example crying when they are hungry or upset when feeling threatened. The theory of attachment originated from the work of John Bowlby a psychoanalyst who “believed that mental health and behavioral problems could be attributed to early childhood (McLeod, 2007) he suggested that children were biologically born to form attachments with others such as a mother or parent as a coping mechanism to help them survive. According to both professors of psychology Cassidy and Shaver (1999) from birth any disruptions between mother-child relationships can be pre-cursors of later psychopathology; this is because they believed that a relationship with the

  • Child Development Case Study

    An important aspect of this development is the way in which a child interacts in a social and school situation .It focusses on the emergence, and change, of a child’s morals. And if the child has an understanding of morality from childhood through to becoming an adult. (Trawick-Smith, 2014). The two theorists that play a part here include Piaget as well as Kohlberg’s. Social development refers to learning values. This can be shown by a childs knowledge as well as how they relate to others and their family (Trawick-Smith, 2014). Through these relationships a child is able to cultivate an awareness of social values, as well as what is expected of them socially. (Cassidy, Parke, Butkovsky, & Braungart, 1992).Psychological development or developmental psychology is the development of a child, cognitively, emotionally, intellectually and socially from childhood to old age. (Cassidy, Parke, Butkovsky, & Braungart, 1992). Therefore it examines change over a broad range of topics such as motor skills, cognitive development, moral understanding, social change, personality, emotional development, self-concept and identity.

Their peer relationships, friendships, popularity, and even social networks also impact their psychological development. In order for them to have a strong psychological development they often need to have created healthy relationships with both members of their family and their peers (Siegler, DeLoache, & Eisenberg, 2011).

  • How Physical Distance Affects Relationships

    1514 Words  | 4 Pages

    The physical distance between friends, family, or lovers, equals to the amount of strain that the relationship is put under. In a way, physical distance can directly affect the emotional bond between two people. For most people, miles between their loved ones and themselves would only become a problem if the traveling distance to see each other accumulated to hours. The key phrase in the last sentence would be ‘most people’. For me, something as trivial as a new conflicting schedule can cause a catalytic change in my friend group. After some analyzing, I’ve realized this is because I start too many relationships of circumstance. This type of relationship is formed because of life circumstances, typically these are
