Must have love and approval nearly all time from people important to you. Must be completely competent in all endeavors, or must have real expertise or talent in something important. Life must go way you want. Things are awful when you don't get first choices. Other people should treat everyone fairly. People who are unfair or unethical are horrible and rotten, and are to be punished or avoided. People and things should turn out better than they do turn out. It's awful and terrible when quick solutions to life's hassles are not forthcoming. Your past is strong influence on your behavior and must continue to affect you and determine your behavior. You can find happiness by inertia, inactivity, or passivity. • More common in people who are alone – Unmarried, unattached, young Loneliness C16:53 • Work-related moves • Four types: Feel excluded, Feel unloved, Feel constricted (unable to share), Feel alienated (different) • Self-blame – Tend to be shy, lack self-esteem, less socially competent (how to introduce self, participate in groups), negative interpretations of social acts, remember negative events I am a failure (not I did not do well in one test) • Such attributions lead to feelings of hopelessness because causes can seem so pervasive and unchangeable C16:52 • Negative Mood Feeds Negative Thoughts – Judge same behavior of self more negatively when sad (blue) than happy (red) (right) 35% 30 • Vicious Cycle – People who ruminate and catastrophize with self-blaming thoughts more at risk for depression – Women more likely to ruminate on negative events 25 20 15 Negative behaviors Positive behaviors Self-ratings C16:54 Outline • Perspectives on Psychological Disorders – – – – – – Defining Thinking Critically: ADHD Understanding Classifying Labeling Thinking Critically: Insanity and Responsibility • Anxiety Disorders – Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder – Phobias – Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder – Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder – Explaining Anxiety Disorders – Thinking Critically: Dissociation and Multiple Personality • Mood Disorders – – – – Major Depressive Disorder Bipolar Disorder Explaining Mood Disorders Close-up: Suicide • Schizophrenia – Symptoms – Subtypes – Understanding • Personality Disorders – Antisocial PD – Understanding Antisocial PD • Rates of Psychological Disorders 9 Schizophrenia C16:55 – Delusions: False beliefs, often of persecution or grandeur, that may accompany psychotic disorders – “Word salad” speech: “I am fine…apple pie…no sale…furniture store…take it slow…cellar door…” – Break-down in selective attention, capacity to inhibit irrelevant material • Schizophrenia – Literal translation “split mind” – Psychotic Disorder – Group of severe disorders characterized by: • Disturbed Perceptions Disorganized and Delusional thinking • Disturbed Perceptions • Inappropriate emotions and actions • – Hallucinations: False sensory experiences, such as seeing or hearing something without any external physical stimulus – Usually auditory – Negative messages: bad, hurt self, … • Symptoms very disruptive • Inappropriate Emotions and Actions – Live in private inner world – Socially withdrawn and isolated much of lives Schizophrenia Understanding – Higher risk if maternal virus Schizophrenia during midpregnancy C16:56 • Disorganized Thinking – – – – Inappropriate responses: e.g., laugh at sad event Flat Affect: appears like apathy Senseless, compulsive acts: e.g., rocking Catatonia: motionless for hours, then agitated C16:57 Schizophrenia C16:58 C16:59 Schizophrenia C16:60 • Brain abnormalities • Flu epidemic during midpregnancy • Densely populated areas at greater risk of viral disease • Born during winter and Spring months in Northern Hemisphere and reverse in Southern Hemisphere • Mother reported being sick with flu, especially 2nd trimester • Higher levels of flu-related antibodies in mothers – Neurotransmitters • Dopamine overactivity and positive symptoms: hallucinations, paranoia • Glutamate underactivity and negative symptoms: withdrawal – Brain Anatomy • Low activity in frontal lobes • Enlarged fluid-filled areas (+1) and shrinkage of cortex (+2) • Low birth-weight, oxygen deprivation, prenatal under-nutrition 10 C16:61 Understanding Schizophrenia C16:62 • Genetic factors – Inherit predisposition 1/100 baseline incidence 1/10 in those with affected sibling or parent • 1/2 with affected identical twin, whether reared together or apart (+1 +2) • • – 6/10 if shared single placenta – 1/10 if twins had separate placentas – Adopted higher if Biological parent affected, not Adoptive parent – Varying degrees of genetic relatedness (+3) – Older father increases incidence: More mutated DNA in sperm cells – Multiple genes involved (polygenic) C16:63 C16:64 • Genain quadruplets – All identical twins – All affected with Schizophrenia, two more seriously C16:65 Understanding Schizophrenia C16:66 • Psychological Factors – Disturbed communication with parents • Causal direction? – Follow high risk children for years.
