Essay About Self-Esteem And Self-Image

Concepts of NeedConcepts of NeedThrough the years there have been many different definitions of what ‘need’ is. As each definition was developed it was intended to improve the quality of services delivered to the population. When ‘need’ is looked there are three main points referred to. These are 1) the kinds of problems that people experience 2) what response is required 3) is there a relationship between the particular problems and the response available to it. When healthcare professionals and social workers look at need they are looking at a need for services.

In 1973 Bradshaw identified four main categories of need in his “Taxonomy of Need”. These were;Normative Need is need which is identified and defined by a set of experts according to a norm or to their particular set of standards.For example, the level of benefits a person is to receive is set by a group of professionals determined by a serious of means tests which again have been designed and set by a particular group of professionals.

Felt Need is need which people feel. This particular need is often expressed by a person as a want. For example, an older adult with dementia living in a residential unit may express that they ‘need’ to go home. This is a want and desire from that person not a need.

Expressed Need is need in which people say they have. An expressed need in generally a felt need that is turned into a demand. For example, a patient visits there G.P with back pain. The patient expresses they wish to see a physiotherapist, this is the demand. It is the G.P’s responsibility to control this demand by the use of a waiting list.

Comparative Need is where concerns are expressed by the comparison of one person’s needs to another’s. Often this is found when one person is in receipt of particular services due to there ‘need’ and others are not. For example, a deprived area may receive more funding for community groups such as, youth clubs. Other areas may compare this provision and question why they do not receive such funding.

Explain ‘needs’ in terms of basic psychological and sociological concepts (include self-esteem, self-image, oppression and cultural expectations)Psychological ConceptsSelf-image: A persons self-image represents their current view they hold about themselves. This view is created by the way in which you see yourself and what you have achieved. It also takes into account the way we wish other people to to view us. Self-image is derived through social interactions in which we experience and also our own interpretation of any feedback we receive from others. If the feedback we receive is positive then it is supportive of our self-image, if it is negative then the effects on our self-image could be distructive.

[citation needed][Note: I don’t see a definition of what is called self-esteem; although that may change, it is clear a person’s self-esteem is often self-serving and thus it is useful to distinguish between the two.]Self-worth: the value associated with what we gain (in terms of the amount that you pay for it, the quality of your job, whether or not you should try to be more successful or not work hard or to do less). Self-esteem means that if you work hard and enjoy yourself, than people may feel better, better, better for doing so, and that it will lead them to find you more desirable. Self-esteem is not just something that people will attribute to themselves, and it can be harmful. If you feel that you are being “selfish”, be patient and not give in to a fear of failure because you are going through a period that you are in. If you do not believe yourself to be “selfish” you might become a target of other people who have strong opinions. This is also known as being “selfish”, which is the belief that you are lazy or bad at what you are doing. The problem is that people who feel selfish or bad at what they are supposed to do have weak feelings about themselves, because that has negative effects on our self-image. If you believe that a person has bad self-image then you might not do so. If you do believe someone has your bad ego then there is a good chance you have it, though what you believe is not the same as what the person is actually feeling. There is no one-size-fits-all psychological treatment for individuals who feel “selfish”. But there is a variety of methods to support support of these feelings from some of the best mental health services and support groups in the world with different degrees of training in specific areas. While there are some basic psychological treatments and there is a plethora of free or commercial mental health clinics and psychoanalysts, there is no universally accepted treatment for the symptoms of self-esteem. Many of these treatments are aimed at treating anxiety and depression.[6]The main problem with self-esteem is that you might feel that you are struggling to control that feeling in a negative way. But the problem with this is that there is no mechanism to address this self-esteem to any measurable amount. People may feel that they are struggling with the self-esteem, and some might feel that the self-esteem does not work because it is bad, but the feeling might well be the root reason that people have felt this way since the days when they did not identify as “selfish”.If you think that you are hurting yourself or your loved ones in this regard, then try to think about self-esteem in

Self-esteem: The level of a persons self-esteem can have both positive and negative effects on there behaviours. The level of self-esteem a person holds is important as it has an overall effect on the way in which they value their individual feeling and beliefs about the person that they are which in turn effects their individual performance. If they hold high levels of self-esteem they will also hold high levels of confidence, if they hold low levels of self-esteem they are likely to have a low self confidence.

Self-image and self-esteem,in relation to a persons needs, can have
