Maria’s husband was unemployed. He used to spend all his time in
Immoral and purposeless activities. He does not bother about his
Responsibilities and even abuse her physically. When Maria demanded
He happily divorced her. After several years of divorce, she was unable
To understand why she still become nauseated when smells the perfume
Used by her ex-husband.

Mention the model which can better explain the Maria’s situation. Also
Discuss its main concerns with reference to Maria’s case. (2+4)

There are different misconceptions about psychological disorders. Explain
Them with reference to Pakistani society. (4)

Hmm, sounds like a behaviourist's idea of classical conditioning.

Or conditioning of some sort. So like Pavlov's dogs and the bell, then their food, then they would salavate. Do this enough, and the dogs salavate do to the expectation of food when the bell rings. The dogs would have to of remembered that when the bell rings, they would get food or some deeper inner biological reasoning for this event...

So she smelled his "sent", and her body reacted to it. It remembered, possibly within her subconcious, that he used to wear that specific perfume, so she reacted as if he was still right beside her or near her. She has a learned response of feeling nauseated when she smells that sent, because it's directly linked to her ex. There are many ways to approach this, like getting her used to smelling the perfume till the learned response becomes, I'm not 100% on this but, an extinct response. (I might talk about her fear, or anxiety from when he abused her while they were together, would be coming out in a new way. Stress has to go some where, so if it gets deep enough it could become manifested physically. They don't call it a pain in the neck for nothing eh!;))
I'm sure there is more, and I do have my Psych text book here, but I'm a tad tired to look at it, sorry.

I don't really know much about the pakistani social structure, nor their day to day society. You are on your own there dude. I'm sure some one will have more on it...

Not sure what you are looking for, but that's the best I can give you, let me know how I did... I love psychology.

Got a lot to say about it, especailly mental illnesses, and Brain plasticity.

Thank u I got some clue.
