Klein's theoretical model

Klein's theoretical model explains how our mental health relates to our sense of control and self-awareness. It suggests that individuals actively interpret their experiences, shaping how they perceive themselves and their environment. When people feel competent and in control, they generally experience better well-being. Conversely, feelings of helplessness or disconnection can lead to distress. The model emphasizes the importance of understanding personal perceptions and the ongoing, dynamic process of self-evaluation in maintaining mental health, highlighting that our internal narratives influence how we respond to life's challenges.
