5 Principles of Community Mental Health Practice
- Comprehensiveness: wide range of services
- Continuity of Care: services linked so clients don’t fall through the cracks
- Accessibility: located close to clients
- Multidisciplinary Teams: multiple professionals
- Accountability: citizen boards

(Regier et. Al., 1984)
(Know what the contribution of 2)

Biological Explanations: Role of Genetics & Biochemistry
Understanding the role of genetics- inherited potential is believed to be involved in the etiology (cause) of a number of mental disorders. Today the focus is on molecular genetics.
Location & Function: Frontal Lobe
(in the front) responsible for self-awareness and decision making, motivation, regulation of emotional expression and motor behavior
Location & Function: Parietal Lobe
(above the ear) responsible for coordination of sensation and motor behavior, spatial orientation, recognition of people and objects
Location & Function: Occipital Lobe
(in the rear) responsible for vision, visual perception, and visual memory
Ways the Brain Can Be Studied: CT Scan
(computerized tomography scan) used to assess the structure of the brain
Ways the Brain Can Be Studied: MRI
(magnetic resonance imaging) used to assess the structure of the brain
Ways the Brain Can Be Studied: PET
(positron emission tomography) show brain functioning
Ways the Brain Can Be Studied: SPECT
(single photon emission computed tomography) show brain functioning
How Psychopharmacological Agents Work
REGULATE the release of neurotransmitters by SLOWING, ACTIVATING, & BLOCKING to reverse neurotransmitter process
Bandura: Social Learning Theory
-modeling, imitation, act what we observe
Attention: attract attention of observer
Retention: remember what is observed
Motoric Reproduction: transformation of recalled symbolic representations into behavior
Reinforcement: incentives to reproduce observed behavior
Cognitive Theorists: Piaget
Scheme, schema (line of thought), assimilation (bring new ideas to schemes), accommodation (bring new ideas that don’t fit the scheme)
Cognitive Theorists: Beck
/Burns
cognitive restructuring, changing distorted thinking
Cognitive Theorists: Ellis
RET: Rational Emotive Therapy
ABC paradigm A: Activating Agent B: Belief system C: Consequence
Thought, Emotion, Behavior (paradigm)

Thought: Piaget, Beck Ellis
Behavior: Bandura
Behavioral Theorists
Bandura, SKinner, Watson, Pavlov
3 Ways Mental Illness has been studied biologically to understand the role of genetics
Family Risk
Twin Studies
Molecular Genetics
Adoption Studies
Location & Function: Temporal Lobe
(near the temples) responsible for memory formation, emotion, language comprehension, and learning
