“Mental Health with the Focus on Alcohol Behavioral Perspectives”
Christin Burnett
A mental health system is one that has perpetually plagued society and the one being focusing on will be alcoholism in the mental health. Approximately 64% of Americans drink. Many Americans are exposed to alcoholism in the family and of the over 15 million alcoholics in this country,500,000 are youth between the ages of nine and twelve. (National Institutes of Health [NIH] and NIAAA 2007).Psychologist, clinical social workers,mental health therapists, and marriage and family therapists reveal that their potential for treatment error essentially revolves around the limited resources for behavioral health and the unpredictability of clients crisis. Most community healthcare systems are simply unable to accommodate everyone 's mental heath needs. Thus, the required prioritization of available resources inevitably leads to error when violent, homicidal or suicidal tendencies are missed. Alcoholism is a physical and psychological addiction to a psychoactive substance. It includes chronic health and behavioral disorders. Fifty years ago, a person seeking help for a serious alcohol problem would have been treated for months in a psychiatric hospital diagnosed using the American Psychiatric Association Greybook. Today people with alcohol abuse disorder have a better chance of being identified and finding support and/or being required by the criminal justice system to undergo treatment. In order to determine which philosophy of alcoholism best fits with their own beliefs and practices, mental health provider 's must understand the fundamental tenets of behaviorism.
How many people in today 's society have told themselves that they do not have a drinking problem? They make up excuses for why they drink. Here is a list of five types of alcoholics that would help us see alcoholism in a new light; quoted extensively the five -dependent subtypes created by Dr. Moss and
