Introduction The causes of psychoses like psychosis or schizophrenia have dominated the subject of various intense research efforts and often harsh debates. Several attempts have been made to determine whether the causes exist in the individual, are biological, intrapsychic conflict or socioenvironmental distress (Craig, Kwame, & Paul, 2008). However, some researchers hold the overriding view has been that psychosis is a heritable brain syndrome. In addition, stress-vulnerability model emphasizes

put in psychological terms, he developed psychosis. The question that this paper will address is how an individual develops psychosis? There is a wide range of theories, all with reasonable evidence. It These different theories seem to indicate that psychosis is the result of a recipe of different environmental, biological, and neural structural factors.

what psychosis really is. Many define it as crazy or not normal, but really, the illnesses vary. It could be schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, hallucinations and delusions, anxiety, even Alzheimer’s and Dementia. It is characterized in all of these illnesses. Psychosis is usually genetic and passed down through different family members. It is an illness that distorts the brain, making thinking unclear.

Peer Reviewed Journal Article: Cannabinoids and Psychosis Sewell, Ranganathan, & D’Souza’s (2009) peer reviewed journal article discusses the possible link, if any, between using cannabis and experiencing psychosis. This article discussed how cannabis was likely to temporarily cause symptoms similar to those of schizophrenia in “healthy individuals” and increase the symptoms in patients already diagnosed with schizophrenia although they were stable on medications (p.153). However, the authors put

Is There a Real Difference Between a Neurosis and a Psychosis A major part of clinical psychology is the diagnoses and treatment of mental disorders. This can often be difficult and controversial due to the fact that many of the disorders can be confused with others; there aren’t always clear guidelines in which to follow.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Family Interventions for Psychosis Psychosocial treatments for schizophrenia are not new in the research literature. Psychological treatments have been previously used in the treatment of schizophrenia. For example in terms of behaviour therapy, operant approaches such as token economy programmes were used in the 1960s and 1970s to improve the behaviour of patients in long stay hospitals. However, the evidence suggests that the clinical gains were limited
