, Sociological Model: places greater emphasis on the environment and
the way society is

mental health challenges; believes society is the
genesis of mental disorder. Ex: Psychiatrists
determined in the past that people who were
homosexual were mentally ill due to their social
power
Biopsyhosocial Model: a belief that the medical, psychological, and
social models all play a role
in causing mental illness; these three components
may not be treated equally
Psychological Model says mental disorder is caused by past situations
in someone's life and
how a person reacted to these situations;
revolves around a person's perspective and how
they have come to understand the world around
them; disorder is produced in the mind and can
be treated with psychotherapies
Why so Many Models? Some models work better with certain disorders,
such as BPD with the behavioural model;
people working in mental health care borrow
from these different models concurrently
depending on the situation
You will never find a person who adheres to only
one specific model; it depends on the
situation. Some people find certain models
offensive and others gratifying, especially if you
are
the patient being treated
