Introduction to Abnormal Psychology
✤ PSYCHOPATHOLOGY the study of the causes, symptoms, and development of psychological or mental disorders
✤ MENTAL DISORDERS characterized by deviant, maladaptive, or harmful behaviors and disruptive patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting that cause distress and dysfunction and affect the performance of daily functions
✤ Approximately 60 million Americans have or are suffering from mental disorders.
✤ Roughly half of all Americans will experience some form of mental illness by age 75.
✤ Symptoms tend to first be exhibited in childhood.
✤ Many affect economic, gender, and ethnic groups equally.
✤ Due to flaws in surveys, these numbers may actually be even higher.

Defining Abnormal Behavior
✤ The most accurate way of defining abnormal behavior is to examine whether the behavior impairs or interferes with a person’s ability to function.
✤ This practical approach to defining abnormal behavior:
1. examines the behavior being displayed,2. compares it to established norms in a sociocultural context, and 3. identifies the consequences associated with the behavior.
✤ This approach focuses on how a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect (or interfere with) his/her home life, work, and social functioning.

Explaining Psychological Disorders
✤ MEDICAL MODEL psychological disorders are actually sicknesses associated with specific symptoms that must be treated medically; led to development of hospitals for the mentally ill
✤ NEUROBIOLOGICAL MODEL modern name for the medical model; psychological disorders are the result of biological factors; includes imbalances of bodily processes, brain abnormalities, and genetic influences
✤ PSYCHOLOGICAL MODEL psychological disorders are the result of psychological processes only; includes interpretation of stressful events, memories from traumatic events, self-defeating attitudes and thinking pattern, and distorted perceptions
✤ SOCIOCULTURAL MODEL psychological disorders result from societal roles and expectations, environmental location, gender, age, ethnicity, and social and cultural definitions of normal and abnormal behavior
✤ BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL MODEL psychological disorders are the result of the combination and interaction of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors
✤ DIATHESIS-STRESS MODEL the amount and type of stress play a crucial role in triggering genetic predispositions, which could result in psychological disorders

Labeling Psychological Disorders
✤ Some believe labels cause more harm than good.
✤ Labeling leads others to treat the labeled differently.
✤ Psychiatrist Thomas Szasz says descriptions of individuals are better than labels.
✤ Labels don’t include unique qualities that are part of a description of a person.
✤ Labeled people tend to act/live up to the expectations and characteristics of the label, hindering improvement.
