Given thаt yоu аre tаking a class оn abnоrmal psychology at the University of Mary where we value faith and reason and critical thinking skills, provide your thoughts on the following question. Within the overarching framework of bidirectionality and nature-nurture, explain how a professional with faith and reason would understand the following factors as being important to assess and understand when working with a patient or conceptualizing mental health and mental illness. These factors may include, but are limited to: culture, genetics, temperament, personality, family of origin, relationship with caregivers, trauma, schemas, faith & religion, virtue/vice, neuroscience, and medication. Speak to the broader integrative and bidirectional approach we discussed in class regarding the human person and mental health.
