Document Summary

Identify automatic thoughts and challenge them with evidence. Can use these tools to study our theories to get empirical evidence to back the theories: not one influence ever occurs in isolation. Continual interaction between biological psychological, social influences. Much more agreement now that there isn"t just one influence one the development of disorders, in the past theorists contributed one cause tp a disorder rather than a mixture of different causes. What we will talk about today is some more integrative perspectives that have been studied with empirical, scientific methods and which we can thus have a bit more faith in. Fyi, there are still different camps on etiology and treatment of psychological disorders. Different journals for researchers to publish in depending on their orientation, psychologists organized into different associations depending on their theoretical orientation meaning the model they have of why their patients/clients are suffering. Today, still different perspectives on factors that lead to and maintain psych disorders.
