Example text
Social and cultural norms affect it, social values dictate how it is responded to, social actions illustrate its richness and diversity, social interaction creates and recreates its meaning. Even though human needs are sometimes alluded to, the predominant overall focus of contemporary literature in the West is on individualistic, psychological constructs, not on the social conditions, structures, contexts and processes in which individuals’ experiences are grounded. It can be argued that the consequence of this is to miss the point, to provide patriarchal, normative starting points and to fail to understand or address the very things that will actually make the difference.
1 2 3 4 21 The basic needs of food, drink, shelter, warmth and purpose in life. Access to the widest possible information about all factors which have an influence on a person’s life. The skill and confidence to assimilate this information. The recognition that an individual is never totally isolated from other people and the external world. 7 First, there is a point which has already been made by a number of writers on the subject from Trent (1993) to Tudor (1996) to the HEA (1997): that his focus is too individualistic and the emphasis is on what we need to do for or to the individual to promote mental health.
Not to do this will be to miss the point about mental health, to provide patriarchal, normative starting points and to fail to understand or address the very things that will actually make the difference. All this points to a need for an ecological approach. An abundance of literature points to the shortcomings of attempting to improve the health of populations by interventions aimed at individuals, an approach which does nothing about those forces in society that cause our problems in the first place and that will continue to provide a fresh supply of at-risk people, forever.
