I think that the best way to approach Jake’s anxiety would be to look at these three different approaches equally and determine what would be the best course of action for Jake as he continues his school career. With looking at it in with a behavioral approach I think that the counselor could talk with Jake and help determine what the issue is about taking the more difficult classes, and for example if it would be the fact that he would have more work and more studying, or if it has something to do with his surroundings like not having as much free time that he had previously. The humanistic approach would allow the counselor to approach Jake in more of a down to earth way and be able to let him know that he is not alone and it is completely

There are multiple factors we can attribute Jake’s anxiety to. In this essay we will focus on how Jake’s anxiety disorder would be treated by psychologists of three different perspectives; a behavioral psychologist, a humanistic psychologist, and a cognitive psychologist. While all would likely recognize that his more difficult classes are acting as a stimulus for his anxiety, a behavioral psychologists would emphasize that the stimuli’s role in his anxiety, a cognitive psychologist would focus on how the mind interprets its situation and perspective, and a humanistic psychologist would focus on how Jake’s self-esteem and self-concept is influencing his ability to achieve in his harder classes.

Next let us look at the psychodynamic explanation of generalized anxiety disorder. “Causes of” (2001) states the psychodynamic theory as defining anxiety as an alerting mechanism in response to unconscious motivations clashing with the constraints of the conscious mind. Benavidez (2009) states some children are more prone to generalized anxiety disorder because they are overrun by neurotic and/or moral anxiety.

Adolescence is a difficult time period in a young person’s transition into their later stage of both physical and mental development. Mood disorders are often overlooked during this time for the brain becoming more developed; however among children, anxiety disorders seem to be the most common disorders to be experienced (Nelson; Israel, pg 112). Barlow (2002) defines anxiety as a future-oriented emotion that is characterized by the inability to be in control and predict future events that can be potentially dangerous to the individual. Anxiety shares commonalities with fear, but the difference between the two being that fear is the initial response made from a present threat, where anxiety is due to a unknown future event. A common

At least one point in time in your life, you have probably heard someone say that “college years are the best years”. It is known as an unforgettable time filled with meeting new people, forming lifelong relationships, and also the beginning of making your own choices and decisions. However, college also means heavy workloads, countless hours of studying, and little to no sleep. Although, the hard work often pays off in the end, the seemingly endless journey can be overwhelming for some individuals, such as Jake. The three psychological perspectives that will pinpoint Jake’s anxious condition are the behavioral, humanistic, and cognitive approaches. The behavioral approach focuses on how behavioral responses are learned through classical

The behavioral perspective focuses only on observable behavior. From this point of view, Jake has anxiety because now he has to work hard in order to keep a good grade in the class. He might’ve had a previous experience where he had to work hard in a class that ended pretty bad, so now he associates a heavy workload with negative consequences, such as a failing grade. If Jake was treated using the behavioral approach, they would condition him to associate studying and working hard with positive consequences instead of with negative consequences. Psychologists today view the behavioral perspective as an important constituent to other modern perspectives.

The movie A Beautiful Mind is one that offers psychologists with a lot of fodder to think about and its storyline brings out various aspects of psychology that can be analyzed to bring a more conclusive close to this debate. The thesis statement of this essay is that psychological disorders need to be understood independently of various factors such as biological and environmental factors. This is because the world of psychology has always tried to attach the above factors to various psychological disorders but I strongly feel that psychological disorders need to be understood and analyzed independently so as a true and deeper understanding of these disorders comes to the fore. The movie A Beautiful Mind is about a genius mathematician Nash who has a psychological disorder, which is later diagnosed to be paranoid schizophrenia. The effects of this disorder are evident in the movie and the essay tries to see how the need to study psychological disorders independently could be helpful in helping various examples of cases such as that of John Forbes Nash.

A behavioral perspective is studying behavior of the person by looking at the stimulus and the response. Therefore, a behavioral psychologist would focus on Jake’s environment and his behavior to try and find a treatment. He would watch his behavior mostly and try and figure out

Anxiety is termed as a number of complicated negative thoughts such as fear, worryness, and apprehension. Individuals are capable to sense and feel the presence of anxiety in numerous situations connected to their culture and community. In addition, scholars attempted to find out the nature of anxiety from different perspectives. Spielberger and Rickman (1990) read about anxiety, depending on the famous psychologist Sigmund Freud, saying that anxiety is a nasty sensational state that is followed by the worriness and apprehension. However, too many authors have studied anxiety in regard to psychological or personal theory to learning and perceiving (Spielberg, 1966 a).in the beginning of the 1960s, the two ideas which are the state of being anxious and trait, were introduced by the two authors (ahell and scheier 1961) . The features of the anxiety condition are closely
