NEUROBIOLOGY NEURO = NERVE CELLS BIOLOGY = PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL, BODY Focus is on the changes in the brain’s chemistry. EX. Is depression a disease? What role does heredity play?

Behaviorist We are the product of learning and associations, reinforcers and punishers. Pavlov, Watson, Skinner Is depression learned? If so can it be unlearned?

Humanism Behavior viewed as a reflection of internal growth. Humans are basically good and we can all reach perfection. Maslow, Rogers Ex. Seed to tree Are people depressed because they don’t feel a sense of worth?

Psychoanalysis Behavior viewed as a reflection of unconscious aggressive and sexual impulses. Freud Is depression an indication of some deeper problem or conflict raging in the unconscious?

Cognitive Behavior viewed as a product of various internal sentences or thoughts. (S.N.L. Stewart Smally) What thoughts lead up to episodes of depression?

Sociocultural Behavior viewed as strongly influenced by the rules and expectations of specific social groups or cultures. Ex. City vs. Country How does depression differ from one culture to another?
