The perspective Behaviorism focuses “on observing and controlling behavior” (OpenStax, 2017 pg. 30). The chicken became hungry and knows that when he is hungry he must eat. On the side of the road that he is on currently there isn’t a good source of food which triggered him to cross the road so that he could get to the more abundant food source on the other side. The Humanistic perspective was created after psychologists such as, Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, did not like the domination of behaviorism and psychoanalysis in American psychology and wanted a perspective that emphasized the potential for good.…
From the work of psychiatrist Aaron Beck cognitive- behavior treatment was developed. Cognitive-behavioral theories all share the same assumption “human behavior is based on what we think and believe” (Early,2017). Cognitive-behavior therapy helps the person change negative cognitions, understand cognition, with this process it brings change to behavior (Early,2017). The theory of cognitive behavior relates to the patient Jim because, he possesses the symptoms of shyness from boyhood. His anxiety comes from his adolescent years.…
Cognition, as defined in our notes, is the “mental processes related to acquisition, storage, and retrieval” (Frank P. Gengaro, Ph.D., MSW, M.A., LCSW, SI, TM, TM, TL, TMC, TTP). This basically means that cognition has a huge part in acquiring information and storing the information in an efficient way so that we can access it whenever we need to. The main way that we study human cognition is through the humanistic perspective. The humanistic perspective suggests that we are social creatures who interact with other social creatures for the sole purpose of survival. We use cognition in an adaptive, as well as, maladaptive way to survive.…

I think the perspective that describes and explains human behavior is psychodynamic perspective. I think cognition perspective is always going to be a major problem in humans. I say problem because I know for a fact that every person including myself have or had second thoughts, made decisions or have tried to improve our lives, but still not seen any change. Psychodynamic is the best perspective that explains the mental process because it plays a big factor on our mind. In my experience, I struggle with psychodynamic perspective because coming from a different country and not knowing the language made a big impact in my mind.…
Therapies are often developed to treat a specific disorder or specific populations. The needs of the client are taken into account when these treatments are developed. All treatments are based off of theories of pathology from various perspectives such as the behavioral or cognitive perspectives. Cognitive theories argue that it is not just the reward and punishment of conditioning, like in behavioral models, but our cognition shapes our behavior and emotions. In the cognitive model it is believed that causal attributions influence behavior.…
The Cognitive Perspective is considered to be a relatively new or modern approach in the field of psychology in regards to the study human behavior that started gaining attention around the late 1950s leading to what is also known as the “Cognitive Revolution” during which the definition of psychology started to deviate from the inclination to be classified as a study of behaviour given that pre-1950s, psychology was deemed as the study of behaviour by experimental psychologists who were influenced by the work of psychologists going along the lines of Pavlov’s work which emphasized on behaviorism arguing that the most objectively observable evidence is that which can be seen externally i.e., behavioral (Miller, 2003) The cognitive perspective allowed researches to come up with conclusions regarding the characteristics of cognitive processes through the observation of certain behaviours in terms of consistency in behaviour, measurable by the rate of forgetting and reaction. The major emphasis of the cognitive perspective leans towards the study of cognitive function as the name suggests or in other words, the study of mental processes inclusive of but not limited to; attention, memory, language, perception and thinking. (McLeod, S. A. 2008)…

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and its functions. Wilhelm Wundt first began research for psychology psychologists have developed from around the world to bring us five main perspectives of psychology, known as, the five schools of thought. The five schools of thought help people to understand why people do certain motions, how people interact with each other, where we develop our mannerisms, and to have a deeper understanding of the human mind, through: biological, psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive and humanistic perspectives. Biological psychology is the study of the physiological bases of behavior, which follows “the relationship between psychological processes and the underlying psychological events” (Britannica,…

Behavioral and humanistic approaches both have ways of helping us to understand and treat abnormal behaviors.

Mentality comes into play when both approaches are studied. Behaviorism and humanistic differ more than that they are similar though.…
