D1 Evaluate the roles of different psychological perspective in health and social care?

In contrast, biological perspective is better than psychodynamic perspective because biological perspective has the important strength of usually being studied using strict scientific approach. This tends to make the results of this kind of research more reliable than the results obtained using some of other psychological approaches. Practical interventions based on the biological perspective have proven reliable, as for example with many drugs that affect the brain, and certain types of neurological surgical interventions. Whereas, the psychodynamic perspective provided a long term treatment to identified the cause of disorder such as psychic battle and defence mechanisms. Also, the perspective over emphasises of importance of sexuality and under emphasises of role of social relationships. The theory is not scientific, and can't be proved as it is circular.

Biological perspective is better than humanistic perspective because biological perspective has a calculation measure to see if a child’s behaviour, performance and comprehending ties with the age of the child. The scale helps psychologists and practitioners to acknowledge other children’s scores together to identify if their development is progressing well. However, the humanistic perspective has unscientific in its approach consequently there is little experimental data to support the concepts used.

Biological perspective is better than behaviourist perspective because biological perspective focused and studied on genetic influence on the behaviour and the influence of the nervous and endocrine systems on behaviour. While, behaviourism has been criticised in the way it under-estimates the complexity of human behaviour uses animals instead as part of the experiments. The humanistic approach is totally inappropriate for treating psychopathy – a person has to have a certain level of emotional contact with the client to work with people and that just isn't possible with psychopaths. Humanism isn't well suited to dealing with that extremity of emotional damage. Also, behaviourism is based on research on animals which may not work or reflect on human behaviour and ignores motivation, thought, and cognition.

Biological perspective is better than cognitive perspective because biological perspective study (physiology) how the nervous system and hormones work, how the brain functions, how changes in structure and/or function can affect behaviour. For example, we could ask how prescribed drugs to treat depression affect behaviour through their interaction with the nervous system. Studies on different species of animal can be studied and compared; this can help in the search to understand human behaviour. In addition, what an individual inherits from its parents, mechanisms of inheritance (genetics). For example, we might want to know whether high intelligence is inherited from one generation to the next. Each of these biological aspects, the comparative, the physiological and the genetic, can help explain human behaviour

While, cognitive perspective does not focus all that much on the patient's past history and criticized for overlooking the patient's broader clinical issues. It doesn’t take into account the physiological aspects of our bodies.

 Biological perspective is better than social learning because social learning theory is unsure if reinforcement use on second time can help to alter the behaviour of an individual and is not really a unified theory.
