The biopsychosocial model describes the concept that biological, psychological, and social factors interact as complex networks that influence one’s health and illness (Suls & Rothman, 2004; Gatchel, 2007). One of the main goals of health psychology is to understand the relationship and interaction between these factors. Health psychologists examine treatment effects on a person’s health by applying interventions that modifies the three factors that comprise the biopsychosocial model (Suls & Rothman, 2004; MacKinnon & Luecken, 2008).

When applying Erikson 's theory and his 8 stages it allowed me to assesess each individual on what stage they are currently in and the stages that there has been issues in achiving.

As the decline of a positive community and family, LaJoe seemed to reverse on the process of developing her identity. Once positive, optimistic and eager to lifes posibilities she has now reverted back to some of the earlier stages of Erikson 's theory. According to LaJoe she blamed her children 's problems on the neighborhood, the neighborhood 's decline to the change of the people, to the influx of drugs and violence (Kotlowitz, 1991).…

Personality can be described as a set of characteristics possessed by an individual that has an effect on his or her behaviour. There are several personality theories within psychology which give different ideas and attempt to give an explanation about the way personality develops.

1025 Reading 14: Dimensions of Personality: The Biosocial Approach to Personality – Hans. J Eysenck 1.

For example, a person may be a pessimist and have anger problems because he/she got it from their parents or because they were brought up in a rough household where he/ she was exposed to violence constantly.…
The Stages of Change models shows that most people display change gradually starting from being unaware of a change needed or being unwilling to make a change (precontemplation stage) to considering a change (contemplation stage). At the contemplation stage a person will show willingness and open minded behavior that allows the necessary steps for change to take place. During this long process relapses may take place but to be considered part of the changing processing and not overshadow the growth that has been achieved, and to know that eventually the change becomes permanent.…

For this case study I will be using The Cycle of Change (TCC) or otherwise known as the Transtheoretical Model of Change (TTMC) by Prochaska & DiClemente (1983).
