When we understand where the problem lies and how it relates to psychological needs, we can usually find a solution by finding alternative ways of fulfilling the respective psychological need. -The bio-psycho-social model of stress (see your reading this week) can explain a great deal of the interconnectedness between cultural issues like race, ethnicity, SES and health outcomes, and how these have an impact on the individual and collective situation in turn. – Nadine Burke-Harris use of Adverse Childhood Experiences (one of the videos) in her diagnostic process as a pediatrician demonstrate a powerful example of interdisciplinary thinking that involves psychology and the quest for underlying issue/need. She provides us with a great example of how once resources are in place issues can be resolves/needs can be fulfilled and many long-term consequences of stress-related outcomes that are inherent in different contexts in US society can be averted. -It is easy to see that this includes becoming aware of the cultural setting in which stressors happen and activating specific cultural resources to cope. In the other video (An emptiness in my heart) this becomes even clearer in a compelling case study. -Reflect on the connecting themes in these approaches, how they relate to the psychological concepts we have employed( racism. automatic bias, institutionalized bias, prejudice), as well as how these interdisciplinary approaches can be translated into other settings of culture, stress and health.
