Psychology For The Role Of Emotion Theory: OCD And Family Issues

Psychological perspective

Key characteristics of the perspective used to explain the cause of OCD- obsessive compulsive disorder

Analysis of the perspective to effectively explain the cause of OCD- obsessive compulsive disorder

Cognitive Theory by Jean Piaget – Behavioral disorders

Cognitive Theory by Jean Piaget

This is a common case which all the individuals would face where they should be able to handle such situation in an effective way. Psychological theories are in place to solve these issues and one of them is the Cognitive theory. Based on this theory it has been proved that people develop individual abilities to reason out and solve any issues which occur from their childhood and they also learn from the experiences they see right from their young age.

There are 4 stages in in this process which can explain this theory in a sequential way which is a type of dependent behavior in order to solve it (Francis, D 1999).

Structural equation modelling

this model is used with the joint family behaviors where even the children and the family are concerned.

Most of the times the conflict happens between the mother and the children as they are the ones who stay in contact in all their activities and the children might go through different stress like the stress in their schools and the mothers could go through because of internal distress. These factors would be related to the internalization and the externalization of their feelings when they see their mothers in distress

It is clearly explained that all the internal and the external factors of the family issues tend to contribute a lot to this issue. A lot of self – discipline could overrule all the issues of this type.

family systems theory

If the families are going through so many disturbances there are some ecological theories of development where they focus on the social contexts of family relations as non – family members and they try to give a better shape to the nature of family life. There are various contexts of family issues. In some cases where the parents are cordial but if issues exist between the mother and children it strains the relation between the mother and child and this is called as mother adolescent conflict. Internalizing and maintaining relation which is filled with love and warmth nurture the relations between the mother and the child. This could help avoid any kind of issues between the mother and child avoiding the adolescent disturbance. The adolescents exhibit behaviors like strong attitude, bullying each other at home and school and many other factors.

The Family systems theory mainly focusses on the importance of family relationships and individual adjustments of the family members. The social network quality between the mother and the child are very critical to avoid any adolescent disturbances. The internalizing behaviors between the parents also create stress in the adolescents where they get stressed. The situations also depend of the financial factors which affect the family’s socio economic resources which lead to family stress levels. The other situations like the family conflicts like husband and wife conflicts might lead to stress where the family might get into separation and this might lead to adolescent behavioral issues which increases stress levels and causes many kinds of problems in their behaviors.

social theories

The social theories from outside the family can explain and support various family behaviors where they can learn from the kinds of issues and learning to solve the issues by adapting some real time experiences which could be shared. By implementing such methods the adolescent behavior can be changed from being stressful to peaceful

The conflicts might be discussed in the family to avoid any minor issues and the issue related to the financial aspects might also be discussed to avoid any issues which might causes greater levels of stress and which might also lead to family separation. 

Psychological perspective

Brief description of the study offered to support the perspective’s explanation of OCD – obsessive compulsive disorder

Evaluation of the methods of data gathering used by each perspective.

Biological theories – Lombroso’s theory of physical criminal types

The experimental analysis would include groups where

The children adapt and implement various ways to be able to imagine themselves as a part of other groups. They somehow realize that they get punished by the elders if they resent to such acts in groups. This might result in making the person a positive or a negative person which might result in changing the attitude of the person in various situations.

This behavior is called as vicarious reinforcement. This gives us a clear understanding of the fact that the abusive or a criminal behavior of a person is not a behavior which happens because of some cause and effect of a person or his family however it is because of his maintenance of his behavior.

These are the earliest factors which could result in explanation of crime due to the nature or developed attributes of people. Criminologists like Lombroso have proved that criminal behavior is a result of combination of multiple factors like genetics, environment in which they live, their developed attributes or sometimes it could be the different forms of behavior they would resent to. This could involve various aspects which we have dealt with in the theories discussed so far and they could contribute largely to this theory and its implementation. Many a times such theories form a large base for such theories as they consider all the groups of people who have been involved in various incidents.

Goldenberg and Goldenberg’s theory

This theory relates to a lot of psychological behaviours. Goldenberg and Goldenberg’s theory suggests that

The disorder which exists in the family structure needs some family members to express psychopathology

The person who conducts the crime is the main prospect who has conducted the crime and is the main focus many a times. In order to understand this issue and solve them it is critical that the researchers or the people who conduct the research on such issues consider those people in groups and their ways of behavior where they keep harming people continuously. These types of theories also have various subsystems like systems theories.  

Most of the psychological theories have explained this type of behaviour with a common understanding of various rules and principles which comprise the main aspect of the family structure. They also consider their family structures where children and families form a major part of their structure and this is helpful for them to conduct a research on in order to analyze various situations successfully. This is a critical aspect all the experiences of the children during their young age are to be considered as it is a critical stage where children form various opinions in life and on people by living or interacting with them in different situations. The environmental critical factors which need to be analyzed are the family conditions like separation, loss of parents, deaths of any of the family members, the people with whom they interact with, their care takers with whom the children tend to spend a lot of time and the mental health of the survivor. It is these environmental factors which affect the people drastically when they are young and their ways of imagination changes and these thoughts keep getting in their heads at the back of their head and they have a strong influence even when they grow elder.
