Is is in the genes, is it my parents or my personality? Mental disorder’s causes are
multi factorial. It means that there are various causes to any given mental disorder.
This is better understood with Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems. This theory
is one of the simplest and straight forward ones. Basically it says that individuals
receive influences and feedbacks from their actions from the different layers of the
environment. Each of these layers have an effect on a child’s development. First of
all: the individual him/herself is born with strengths and difficulties inherited by the
genetical history and also birth situations ( lacking of oxygen, premature babies...).
Then, the microsystem has an enormous impact on the development of insecurities,
self-esteem, attachment patterns and so on. The microsystem is the close family.
When kids enter school they enter the mesosystem which is also composed of all the
other influences parents might have such as religion, working conditions... which
will have an indirect impact on the childs development.
The culture a child is raised in, his community and the neighborhood he lives in are
all part of the exosystem.
The macrosystem is composed of the values, laws and political beliefs of society.
Finally, the chronosystem refers to the dimension of time. Elements within this
system can be either external events, such as the timing of a parent’s death, or
internal developments, such as the physiological changes that occur with the aging
of a child.
