Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Khanna is describing the biopsychosocial perspective, which considers the multiple factors, including biological, psychological, and social/cultural, that contribute to the development of psychological disorders. The diathesis-stress model also considers multiple factors, but it specifically focuses on the interaction between vulnerability factors (diathesis) and environmental stressors in the development of disorders. The reductionist perspective would focus more narrowly on only one of these factors (e.g. the biological causes of a disorder), while the cognitive-biological perspective would focus on the interplay between cognitive and biological factors.
