Section Two Listening Comprehension Part 1 Dialogue- Psychology and Psychiatry Interviewer: Perhaps we could begin by defining the difference between psychology and psychiatry*. I know it's
something which a lot of people get confused about.
Doctor: Yes, people often do confuse psychology and psychiatry, and equally psychologists and psychiatrists.
Um, firstly, a psychologist will have a degree in psychology but will not have a medical training; a psychiatrist is always a fully trained doctor who also has additional specialist training in the field of psychiatry. Psychiatry is the study essentially of mental illness; psychology is really the study of behavior, including normal behavior and mental processes, the way we think, behave and feel.
Interviewer: So how exactly do you define mental illness? How do you know when a person is mentally ill? Doctor: It's a difficult question actually to answer. Essentially, mental illness causes a disturbance in the way
that people think, feel and behave. Um, most people think of mental illness in terms of a breakdown; the term \

become very depressed or anxious. But a breakdown may also describe someone who's had a major mental illness, where their thinking, feelings and behavior may become grossly disorganized.
Interviewer: Right. Um, I've heard of the ICD, the International Classification of Disorders. Is that something
which is used in Britain in psychiatry?
Doctor: Yes, it's the International Classification of Diseases*, um, which is the main classification used in
England to classify all diseases; and all people admitted to hospitals in England will have a diagnosis given within the International Classification of Diseases. This classification covers mental illnesses and really classifies mental illnesses under three main headings of psychoses*, neuroses* and personality disorders. Within each of those main areas of classification there are lots of other individual diagnoses.
Interviewer: I'd like to ask you about schizophrenia* because that's a word which people often associate with the
most extreme kinds of insanity* or lunacy* or I'm sure you'd call mental disturbance of some kind. What exactly is that?
Doctor: Schizophrenia is a severe psychotic* illness. Schizophrenia usually shows itself by the person perhaps
hearing voices when there's nothing to account for the voice in the environment. They often have firm but abnormal beliefs, for example that they're being followed or persecuted and their behavior again may seem very odd.
Interviewer: Is there any effective treatment for this disorder?
Doctor: Yes, there is. There have been advances in the treatment of schizophrenia, particularly since really the
1950s when the major anti-psychotic drugs were introduced. The main line of treatment now includes drug treatments which can reduce or get rid of symptoms, but we also these days very much provide social and family support and help to schizophrenic patients.
Interviewer: Mm… There is a stigma, isn't there, attached to mental illness generally by society. But I believe
it's
actually a lot more common than people think. Is that true?
Doctor: Mental illness is very common. I was reading a paper just today which was talking about mental health
care and was pointing out some very staggering statistics, for example that 26 percent of the population consult their family doctor each year with mental health problems, that 14 percent of days

lost to work are a result of mental health problems, that 20 percent of our total NHS* expenditure is for treating mental health problems.
Interviewer: Well, how ... how do we actually prevent mental illness? Is it preventable? Doctor: That's a really difficult question.
Interviewer: Isn't it true that, well at least one theory is that in many cases mental illnesses are hereditary, or
people, you know, with parents or grandparents and so on, who are prone* to this will get it themselves, and therefore presumably external factors aren't going to make any difference?
Doctor: I think in terms of the cause or etiology* of mental illness, there are often or most usually many
factors operating, so the person may be genetically more vulnerable to that kind of illness. The vulnerability, though, is only one aspect. Stresses in their life, physical illnesses — which can cause mental illnesses — may be another factor bringing about mental ill-health. So there are a variety of factors interacting, which are leading to mental illness.
Interviewer: So prevention really has to be tackled from a number of different fronts? Doctor: Yes.
