Psychological Disorders: Coping with Schizophrenia The job was gone, the gun was loaded, and a voice was saying, "You’re a waste

, give up now, do it now." It was a command, not a suggestion, and what mattered at that moment – a winter evening in 2000 – was not where the voice was coming from, but how assured it was, how persuasive. Losing his first decent job ever seemed like too much for Joe Holt to live with. It was time. "All I remember then is a knock on the bedroom door and my wife, Patsy, she sits down on the bed and hugs me, and I’m holding the gun in my left hand, down here, out of sight," said Mr. Holt, 50, a computer consultant and entrepreneur who has a diagnosis of schizophrenia. "She says, ‘Joe, I know you feel like quitting, but what if tomorrow is the day you get what you want?" And walks out. I sat there starting at that gun for an hour at least, and finally decided – never again. It can never be an option. Patsy deserves for me to be trying." (Carey, 2011, p. A1). Holt was diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia. What elements of his behavior seem to fit the description of this disorder? How might each of the perspectives on psychological disorders address the causes of his symptoms? Which perspective provides the most useful explanation for Holt’s case, in your opinion, and why?

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The naturalistic methodological approach is sometimes rejected in the field of psychology on the basis that psychological events possess attributes that do not exist in purely natural events. One of the characteristics of the psychological is its intentionality. Starting from the distinction between the basic psychological processes and the behavioral products that emerge from them, it is proposed that the former constitute a proper field of natural science but that: nevertheless, they lead to the generation of theories capable of explaining intentional behavior.

Psychology is the study of individual behavior, that is, it is the investigation of processes that occur in the individual, such as perception or learning. In psychology, therefore, you should necessarily focus on possibly universal processes

natural science methods and goals are probably not useful for studying people and social behavior; Instead of explaining to people and society, research should aim at understanding human behavior ... In this vision, the most interesting questions are not about the "reality of the world, but about people's interpretations of it.

Intentional behavior, such as contingencies of reinforcement, educational experience or the current social context, we can see that a “causal” approach cannot easily be rejected. For example, we can see that a behavior now occurs because in the past it was followed by certain consequences. However, even recognizing the presence of such causes, the interpretationist researcher will insist that they influence the behavior only to the extent that they have any meaning for the individual and according to the intentions and motives that he harbors (and hence the same "causes" influence different individuals differently). Ultimately, then, the most important factors lie in these meanings, intentions and motives.
