Angelina joined the same school her mother studied in while at age twelve, the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. At New York University she ventured into film studies this opened up an opportunity for her to work with Met Theater group. At 16, Angelina took a modeling.
Socio-Cultural Aspects
Angelina’s diabetic condition has been caused by the factors that have been souring her life ever since childhood. The life of Angelina has been surrounded by difficulties when she was still a young girl. Angelina’s father was practicing adultery, this fact led to conflicts between both parents making life difficult for Angelina, causing her trauma and depression. She was always stressed by the fact that the father was being a nuisance to the mother. This affected her negatively to the extent that she started to develop sickness due to stress caused by her father.
The stress that Angelina faced in her childhood led her to develop diabetes. Although at this point, the sickness was quite at a lower degree that had no serious effect on her life at any point especially when she was still growing, she also faced difficulties balancing school and acting life. Her father did not support her acting career because he did not want her to take up some roles in movies. Although, Jolie went against her fathers’ wish and took the roles anyway.
Marriage has become a problem for the actor, currently, she has had 3 divorces. Acting is a very demanding career making it hard for her to balance her personal life and her career. this factors stressed her so much and preferred to divorce so that she could avoid so much demanding responsibilities in the family life. Stress from the marriages further worsened her diabetic condition.
Diagnostic information
This refers to the collection of data and using considerably by analyzing and translating information to meanings that can be used by people on different issues or matters. A possible diagnosis for Angelina Jolie’s case can be done by a doctor. This should be on the basis of viewing of the depths of the sickness in Jolie to determine proper medications and interventions.
According to, Rupp, Templin, " Henson, (2010), the bias of this diagnosis is that there are people who are not susceptible to particular illness. This may make the doctor who is doing the clinical checkup not to consider Jolie in this case. Therefore, this will negatively affect her as the condition may stay unnoticed.
There is also an assumption made during the diagnostic. Yang, (2003) argues that when the diagnostic is done, there may be an assumption on the causes of the sickness. This may lead to a different treatment method meaning the condition is not treated in the right manner.
Theoretical Orientations
Theoretical orientation is a concept that therapist employs to develop solutions for problems their patients face. In our case, we will use two theoretical orientations; Cognitive behavioral therapy and family therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive behavior therapy is applicable for Angelina when we consider her behaviors and beliefs that she has. We argue that the reason behind her divorces maybe due to her behavior. Therefore, the therapist should enlighten her on this concept and propose a change in behavior as it may reduce chances of divorce. Successful therapy on the above-mentioned problem will offer her the solution she wants, therefore solving her stress problems.
Family therapy
This therapy will also be helpful for Angelina. It is quite different from the other approach because it involves the whole family. Family therapy always works out as the involved parties are given an opportunity to air their grievances, for Angelina and her husband, they will be given an opportunity to settle their differences. It may also create a good relationship between Jolie and her children eventually creating peace of mind and reduced stress that is causing her diabetic problems.
Conclusion
According to this diagnostic paper, Angelina Jolie is diagnosed with diabetes. This condition has been a problem for her since childhood and was caused by the stressful childhood she had. Additionally, she faced a challenge of balancing her personal life and career, making it hard for her to maintain a stable relationship with her husband. We learn that she has had 3 divorces and her current marriage is not headed on the right track. The paper also brings forth the diagnostic information from the doctors who diagnosed her and their limitations.
