Description

Introduction

This course explores some of the key ways of naming and making sense of mental health problems, such as psychiatric diagnosis, psychological formulation, and social need assessments. There are both theoretical and practical concerns about categorizing mental health problems and you will explore these in relation to mental health practice.

Over the past century, there has been a radical shift in responses to people who experience mental health problems. By directly relating key perspectives to a case study, you will reflect on how the medical perspective, psychological perspective, and social need perspective come to make sense of mental ill-health.
