Psychological Activity

This paper attempts to reveal through case analysis that psychological activities are a set of programs and that the cause of mental illness is error in operation of the programs or the establishment of erroneous programs. By modifying or learning to use these psychological programs correctly, mental illness can be treated precisely and thoroughly. The complete psychotherapy process is represented by the following: psychoanalysis + modification of psychological programs.In order to perform certain tasks, life bodies need to initiate a series of psychological or physiological activities, which is the process of psychological or physiological activities called "psychological program". Psychological program is an abstract concept, and it is not a material entity. The search for psychological activity programs mainly depends on psychological analysis and scientific hypnosis.

<em>This article presents an approach to assess and intervene a geriatric and psychiatric mental health hospital client based on a psychodynamic perspective. Psychodynamic theory contributes the idea that social workers choose an approach that supports clients to replicate significant mental health aging experiences. The purpose of this study is to assess whether depressed geriatric clients would respond to psychodynamic assessment to their mental illness and, if so, whether the client respond also to the intervention. A 60-year-old Caucasian, single, and female entered the study. A case illustration is presented that demonstrates the application of psychodynamic approach. </em>

The Status

The incidence of mental illness is increasing year by year, and appears on public platforms to express the status of the disease group. Some scholars have studied the public's cognition and attitude about mental illness. On the basis of these articles, the purpose is to study the public's cognition and emotional attitude towards public expression of mental illness. This article uses text analysis to extract the most popular mental illness videos on the online platform” bilibili”, and randomly selects 1,000 comments for analysis. The results show that about 86.5% of users agree with the public expression of mental illness, and 7% of users do not agree, 6.5% of users are suspicious of symptoms and want accurate information. Through the analysis of the results, the majority of the public has a positive and positive attitude towards the patients who openly express mental illness, but the current situation of the public expression is polarized by users, with one highly identifying with and deifying the disease, while the other strongly disidentifying and contaminating the disease.

The One

Throughout history and in all the world’s major faith traditions, it has been noted that conversion and other important spiritual and religious experiences may share or have features that overlap with signs and symptoms of psychiatric illness. William James, especially in The Varieties of Religious Experience, contributed significantly to the understanding of this overlap. The aim of this chapter is to explore the ethical and clinical dilemmas that arise when clinicians attempt to negotiate the seemingly conflicting imperatives of diagnosing on the one hand and of being open to the transformational significance of mental illness on the other. This is achieved by presenting three clinical cases from the author’s community psychiatric practice and analyzing them through the lens of Jonsen’s Four Quadrants Model for ethical case analysis.

Fool’s Gold: Psychologists Using Disingenuous Reasoning to Mislead Legislatures into Granting Psychologists Prescriptive Authority

Prescriptive Authority

Mental illness is a serious problem in the United States. Based on “current epidemiological estimates, at least one in five people has a diagnosable mental disorder during the course of a year.” Fortunately, many of these disorders respond positively to psychotropic medications. While psychiatrists write some of the prescriptions for psychotropic medications, primary care physicians write more of them. State legislatures, seeking to expand patient access to pharmacological treatment, granted physician assistants and nurse practitioners prescriptive authority for psychotropic medications. Over the past decade other groups have gained some form of prescriptive authority. Currently, psychologists comprise the primary group seeking prescriptive authority for psychotropic medications.The American Society for the Advancement of Pharmacotherapy (“ASAP”), a division of the American Psychological Association (“APA”), spearheads the drive for psychologists to gain prescriptive authority. The American Psychological Association offers five main reasons why legislatures should grant psychologists this privilege: 1) psychologists’ education and clinical training better qualify them to diagnose and treat mental illness in comparison with primary care physicians; 2) the Department of Defense Psychopharmacology Demonstration Project (“PDP”) demonstrated non-physician psychologists can prescribe psychotropic medications safely; 3) the recommended post-doctoral training requirements adequately prepare psychologists to prescribe safely psychotropic medications; 4) this privilege will increase availability of mental healthcare services, especially in rural areas; and 5) this privilege will result in an overall reduction in medical expenses, because patients will visit only one healthcare provider instead of two–one for psychotherapy and one for medication.

In the summer of 1979, a group of experts on law, medicine, and ethics assembled in Siracusa, Sicily, under the auspices of the International Commission of Jurists and the International Institute of Higher Studies in Criminal Science, to draft guidelines on the rights of persons with mental illness. Sitting across the table from me was a quiet, proud man of distinctive intelligence, William J. Curran, Frances Glessner Lee Professor of Legal Medicine at Harvard University. Professor Curran was one of the principal drafters of those guidelines. Many years later in 1991, after several subsequent re-drafts by United Nations (U.N.) Rapporteur Erica-Irene Daes, the text was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly as the Principles for the Protection of Persons with Mental Illness and for the Improvement of Mental Health Care. This was the kind of remarkable achievement in the field of law and medicine that Professor Curran repeated throughout his distinguished career.

Abstract The author, who is the editor of the Mental and Behavioral Disorders chapter of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Sixth Edition, comments on the previous article, Assessing Mental and Behavioral Disorder Impairment: Overview of Sixth Edition Approaches in this issue of The Guides Newsletter. The new Mental and Behavioral Disorders (M&BD) chapter, like others in the AMA Guides, is a consensus opinion of many authors and thus reflects diverse points of view. Psychiatrists and psychologists continue to struggle with diagnostic taxonomies within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, but anxiety, depression, and psychosis are three unequivocal areas of mental illness for which the sixth edition of the AMA Guides provides M&BD impairment rating. Two particular challenges faced the authors of the chapter: how could M&BD disorders be rated (and yet avoid an onslaught of attorney requests for an M&BD rating in conjunction with every physical impairment), and what should be the maximal impairment rating for a mental illness. The sixth edition uses three scales—the Psychiatric Impairment Rating Scale, the Global Assessment of Function, and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale—after careful review of a wide variety of indices. The AMA Guides remains a work in progress, but the authors of the M&BD chapter have taken an important step toward providing a reasonable method for estimating impairment.
