V.1. Thesis - The role of positive irrational beliefs in mental health & wellbeing -- v.2. Professional portfolio - A biopsychosocial approach to health assessment |
| Summary |
This research found that positive irrational beliefs can be separated into distinct categories. These categories only had weak power for explaining aspects of mental health, including emotional state, satisfaction with life, and self-esteem. The direction of these relationships also varied according to the specific positive irrational beliefs being examined. The portfolio presents four case studies to examine the importance of a biopsychosocial model of health and concludes that all health professionals need an understanding of the potential interactions impacting on individuals' experiences with particular conditions |
