go with just a warning or decide to terminate her/his services. After a discussion
with other employees of the organisation, an extreme decision was taken to
terminate this person’s services. Identify this phenomenon and explain why it
occurs.
SECTION D
Mental health professionals have attempted to understand psychological disorders
using different approaches through the ages. Today, we have sophisticated
facilities and hospitals dedicated to the treatment of the mentally ill. While
studying the history of psychological disorders it is interesting to note that some
practices from ancient times are still in use. Take the case of Lakshmi and her
daughter, Maya. Maya exhibits abnormal behaviours and Lakshmi believes that
this is because of evil spirits that have possessed her. She has been taking her
daughter to a self-proclaimed healer, who uses counter-magic and prayer to cure
her. Stigma and lack of awareness prevents Lakshmi from using the modern
facilities and hospitals that provide quality mental health care.
On the other hand, when young Rita reported seeing people and hearing voices,
mental health professionals at a modern facility were able to understand her
hallucinations using a convergence of three approaches. Psychologists use official
manuals like the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – 5th
Edition (DSM-5) and International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) to indicate
presence or absence of disorders. Today there is increased compassion for people
who suffer from disorders and a lot of emphasis is placed on providing community
care.
11. Identify the method used by the healer to cure Maya’s illness. How does this 2
theory from ancient times explain Maya’s treatment?
12. Which approach do you think would best explain Rita’s treatment? How do you 2
think DSM - 5 and ICD -10 help mental health professionals in indicating the
presence or absence of disorders?
