Slide 1 ___________________________________ Models of Abnormality Chapter 2 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology, 6e Ronald Comer ___________________________________ Slides & Handouts by Karen Clay Rhines, Ph.D. Northampton Community College 1 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 2 ___________________________________ Models of Abnormality In science, the perspectives used to explain events are known as models or paradigms ___________________________________ ◦ Each spells out basic assumptions, gives order to the field under study, and sets guidelines for investigation ___________________________________ ◦ Models influence what investigators observe, the questions they ask, the information they seek, and how they interpret this information ___________________________________ 2 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 3 ___________________________________ Models of Abnormality Until recently, clinical scientists of a given place and time tended to agree on a single model of abnormality – a model greatly influenced by the beliefs of their culture Today, several models are used to explain and treat abnormal functioning ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ◦ Each model focuses mainly on one aspect of human functioning and none can explain all aspects of abnormality ___________________________________ 3 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 4 ___________________________________ The Biological Model Adopts a medical perspective Main focus is that abnormal behavior is an illness brought about by malfunctioning parts of the organism ◦ Typically focused on the brain ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 4 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 5 ___________________________________ How Do Biological Theorists Explain Abnormal Behavior? Brain anatomy ◦ The brain is composed of ~100 billion nerve cells (called neurons) and thousands of billions of support cells (called glia) ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ◦ Within the brain, large groups of neurons form distinct areas called brain regions ___________________________________ 5 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 6 ___________________________________ How Do Biological Theorists Explain Abnormal Behavior? Brain anatomy and abnormal behavior ___________________________________ ◦ Clinical researchers have discovered connections between certain psychological disorders and problems in specific brain areas ___________________________________ Example: Huntington’s disease and basal ganglia (forebrain) ___________________________________ 6 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 7 ___________________________________ How Do Biological Theorists Explain Abnormal Behavior? Brain chemistry ___________________________________ ◦ Information is communicated throughout the brain in the form of electrical impulses that travel from one neuron to one or more others ___________________________________ ◦ An impulse first is received at a neuron’s dendrites, travels down the axon, and is transmitted through the nerve ending to the dendrites of other neurons ___________________________________ 7 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 8 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 8 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 9 ___________________________________ How Do Biological Theorists Explain Abnormal Behavior? Brain chemistry ___________________________________ ◦ Neurons do not actually touch each other; they are separated by a space (the synapse), across which a message moves ◦ When an electrical impulse reaches a nerve ending, the ending is stimulated to release a chemical called a neurotransmitter (NT), that travels across the synaptic space to receptors on the dendrites of neighboring neurons ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Some NTs tell receiving neurons to “fire;” other NTs tell receiving neurons to stop firing 9 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 10 ___________________________________ How Do Biological Theorists Explain Abnormal Behavior? Brain chemistry and abnormal behavior ___________________________________ ◦ Researchers have identified dozens of NTs and have learned that each neuron uses only certain kinds Examples: serotonin, dopamine, GABA ___________________________________ ◦ Studies indicate that abnormal activity by certain NTs can lead to specific mental disorders ___________________________________ Examples: depression (serotonin and norepinephrine) and anxiety (GABA) 10 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 11 ___________________________________ How Do Biological Theorists Explain Abnormal Behavior? Brain chemistry and abnormal behavior ◦ Additionally, researchers have learned that mental disorders are sometimes related to abnormal chemical activity in the endocrine system ◦ Endocrine glands release hormones which propel body organs into action ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Abnormal secretions have been linked to psychological disorders ___________________________________ Example: Cortisol release is related to anxiety and mood disorders 11 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 12 ___________________________________ How Do Biological Theorists Explain Abnormal Behavior? Sources of biological abnormalities – genetics ___________________________________ ◦ Each cell in the human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes, each with numerous genes that control the characteristics and traits a person inherits ◦ Studies suggest that inheritance plays a part in mood disorders, schizophrenia, and other mental disorders ◦ Researchers hope eventually to be able to prevent or change genes that help cause medical or psychological disorders ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 12 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 13 ___________________________________ How Do Biological Theorists Explain Abnormal Behavior? Sources of biological abnormalities – evolution ___________________________________ ◦ Genes that contribute to mental disorders typically are viewed as unfortunate occurrences (e.g., mutations) ◦ Evolutionary theorists argue that they are, instead, the result of normal evolutionary principles: Genes responsible for human reactions survived because they helped individuals thrive and adapt (e.g., fear) ___________________________________ In modern times, however, the very genes that allowed for survival and reproduction might now leave individuals particularly prone to fear reactions, and anxiety and other disorders ◦ This perspective is controversial and has been rejected by many theorists; it requires leaps of faith that many scientists find unacceptable ___________________________________ 13 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 14 ___________________________________ How Do Biological Theorists Explain Abnormal Behavior? Sources of biological abnormalities – viral infections ___________________________________ ◦ Another possible source of abnormal brain structure or biochemical dysfunction is viral infection Example: schizophrenia and prenatal viral exposure ___________________________________ ◦ Interest in viral explanations of psychological disorders has been growing in the past decade ___________________________________ Example: anxiety and mood disorders 14 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 15 ___________________________________ Biological Treatments Biological practitioners attempt to pinpoint the physical source of dysfunction to determine the course of treatment Three types of biological treatment: ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ◦ Drug therapy ◦ Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) ___________________________________ ◦ Psychosurgery 15 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 16 ___________________________________ Biological Treatments Drug therapy: ___________________________________ ◦ 1950s = Discovery of psychotropic medications Greatly changed the outlook for a number of mental disorders ◦ Four major drug groups: ___________________________________ Antianxiety drugs (anxiolytics; tranquilizers) Antidepressant drugs Antibipolar drugs (mood stabilizers) ___________________________________ Antipsychotic drugs 16 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 17 ___________________________________ Biological Treatments Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT): ___________________________________ ◦ This treatment is used on tens of thousands of depressed persons annually Used primarily for depression when drugs and other therapies have failed ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 17 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 18 ___________________________________ Biological Treatments Psychosurgery (or neurosurgery): ___________________________________ ◦ Historical roots in trephination ◦ 1930s = first lobotomy ◦ Much more precise than in the past ___________________________________ ◦ Considered experimental and used only in extreme cases ___________________________________ 18 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 19 ___________________________________ Assessing the Biological Model Strengths: ◦ Enjoys considerable respect in the field ◦ Constantly produces valuable new information ◦ Brings great relief Weaknesses: ◦ Can limit, rather than enhance, our understanding Too simplistic ◦ Treatments produce significant undesirable (negative) effects ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 1919 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 20 ___________________________________ The Psychodynamic Model Oldest and most famous psychological model Based on belief that a person’s behavior (whether normal or abnormal) is determined largely by underlying dynamic psychological forces of which she or he is not consciously aware Father of psychodynamic theory and psychoanalytic therapy: ◦ Abnormal symptoms are the result of conflict among these forces ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ◦ Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) 20 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 21 How Did Freud Explain Normal and Abnormal Functioning? Shaped by three UNCONSCIOUS forces: ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 1. Id – guided by the Pleasure Principle Instinctual needs, drives, and impulses Sexual; fueled by libido (sexual energy) ___________________________________ 2. Ego – guided by the Reality Principle Seeks gratification, but guides us to know when we can and cannot express our wishes ___________________________________ Ego defense mechanisms protect us from anxiety 21 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 22 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 22 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 23 How Did Freud Explain Normal and Abnormal Functioning? ___________________________________ Caused by three UNCONSCIOUS forces: ___________________________________ 3. Superego – guided by the Morality Principle Conscience; unconsciously adopted from our parents These three parts of the personality are often in some degree of conflict ◦ A healthy personality is one in which compromise exists among the three forces ◦ If the id, ego, and superego are in excessive conflict, the person’s behavior may show signs of dysfunction ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 23 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 24 How Did Freud Explain Normal and Abnormal Functioning? Developmental stages ◦ Freud proposed that at each stage of development, new events require adjustment of the id, ego, and superego ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ If successful → personal growth If unsuccessful → fixation at an early developmental stage, leading to psychological abnormality Because parents are the key figures in early life, they are often seen as the cause of improper development ___________________________________ 24 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 25 How Did Freud Explain Normal and Abnormal Functioning? ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Developmental stages ◦ Oral (0 to 18 months of age) ◦ Anal (18 months to 3 years of age) ___________________________________ ◦ Phallic (3 to 5 years of age) ◦ Latency (5 to 12 years of age) ___________________________________ ◦ Genital (12 years of age to adulthood) 25 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 26 ___________________________________ How Do Other Psychodynamic Explanations Differ from Freud’s? Although new theories depart from Freud’s ideas in important ways, each holds on to the belief that human functioning is shaped by dynamic (interacting) psychological forces: ___________________________________ ◦ Ego theorists Emphasize the role of the ego; consider it independent ___________________________________ ◦ Self theorists Emphasize the unified personality ◦ Object-relations theorists Emphasize the human need for relationships with others; importance of the relationship between children and their caregivers ___________________________________ 26 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 27 ___________________________________ Psychodynamic Therapies Range from Freudian psychoanalysis to modern therapies All seek to uncover past trauma and inner conflicts Therapist acts as a “subtle guide” ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 27 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 28 ___________________________________ Psychodynamic Therapies Utilize various techniques: ___________________________________ ◦ Free association ◦ Therapist interpretation Resistance ___________________________________ Transference Dream interpretation ◦ Catharsis ___________________________________ ◦ Working through 28 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 29 ___________________________________ Psychodynamic Therapies Contemporary trends: ___________________________________ ◦ Short-term psychodynamic therapies ◦ Relational psychoanalytic therapy ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 29 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 30 Assessing the Psychodynamic Model Strengths: ◦ First to recognize importance of psychological theories and treatment ◦ Saw psychological conflict as important source of psychological health and abnormality ◦ First to demonstrate the potential of psychological treatment - monumental impact on the field Weaknesses: ◦ Unsupported ideas; difficult to research Non-observable Inaccessible to human subject (unconscious) ◦ Rely on case studies ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 3030 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 31 ___________________________________ The Behavioral Model Like psychodynamic theorists, behavioral theorists believe that our actions are determined largely by our experiences in life Concentrates wholly on behaviors and environmental factors Bases explanations and treatments on principles of learning ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 31 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 32 ___________________________________ The Behavioral Model The model began in laboratories where conditioning studies were conducted ___________________________________ ◦ Several forms of conditioning: Operant conditioning ___________________________________ Modeling Classical conditioning ◦ Each may produce normal or abnormal behavior ___________________________________ 32 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 33 ___________________________________ How Do Behaviorists Explain Abnormal Functioning? Operant conditioning ___________________________________ ◦ Humans and animals learn to behave in certain ways as a result of receiving rewards whenever they do so ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 33 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 34 ___________________________________ How Do Behaviorists Explain Abnormal Functioning? Modeling ___________________________________ ◦ Individuals learn responses by observing and repeating behavior ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 34 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 35 ___________________________________ How Do Behaviorists Explain Abnormal Functioning? Classical conditioning ___________________________________ ◦ Learning by temporal association When two events repeatedly occur close together in time, they become fused in a person’s mind; before long, the person responds in the same way to both events ◦ Father of classical conditioning: Ivan Pavlov (1849 – 1936) ___________________________________ Classic study using dogs and meat powder ◦ Explains many familiar behaviors (both normal and abnormal) ___________________________________ 35 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 36 ___________________________________ Classical Conditioning US UR Meat Salivate US Meat + ___________________________________ UR Tone ___________________________________ Salivate CS CR Tone Salivate ___________________________________ 36 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 37 ___________________________________ Behavioral Therapies Aim to identify the behaviors that are causing problems and replace them with more appropriate ones ___________________________________ ◦ May use classical conditioning, operant conditioning, or modeling ___________________________________ Therapist is “teacher” rather than healer ___________________________________ 37 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 38 ___________________________________ Behavioral Therapies Classical conditioning treatments may be used to change abnormal reactions to particular stimuli ___________________________________ ◦ Example: systematic desensitization for phobia ___________________________________ Step-by-step procedure Learn relaxation skills Construct a fear hierarchy ___________________________________ Confront feared situations 38 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 39 ___________________________________ Assessing the Behavioral Model Strengths: ◦ Powerful force in the field ◦ Can be tested in the laboratory ◦ Significant research support for behavioral therapies Weaknesses: ___________________________________ ◦ Too simplistic ◦ Behavior therapy is limited ◦ Downplays role of cognition New focus on self-efficacy, social cognition, and cognitivebehavioral theories ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 39 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 40 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 40 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 41 ___________________________________ The Cognitive Model Seeks to understand human thought in order to understand human behavior ___________________________________ Argues that clinicians must ask questions about assumptions, attitudes, and thoughts of a client ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 41 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 42 ___________________________________ How Do Cognitive Theorists Explain Abnormal Functioning? Cognitive problems are the cause of abnormal behavior ___________________________________ ◦ Several kinds of faulty thinking: Faulty assumptions and attitudes ___________________________________ Illogical thinking processes Example: overgeneralization ___________________________________ 42 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 43 ___________________________________ Cognitive Therapies People can develop a new way of thinking to overcome their problems Main model: Beck’s Cognitive Therapy ◦ The goal of therapy is to help clients recognize and restructure their thinking ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Therapists also guide clients to challenge their dysfunctional thoughts, try out new interpretations, and apply new ways of thinking in their daily lives ___________________________________ Widely used in treating depression 43 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 44 ___________________________________ Assessing the Cognitive Model Strengths: ◦ Very broad appeal ◦ Clinically useful and effective ◦ Focuses on a uniquely human process ◦ Theories lend themselves to research ◦ Therapies effective in treating several disorders Weaknesses: ◦ Precise role of cognition in abnormality has yet to be determined ◦ Limited effectiveness ◦ Singular, narrow focus ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 44 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 45 ___________________________________ The Humanistic-Existential Model Combination model ___________________________________ ◦ The humanist view Emphasis on people as friendly, cooperative, and constructive; focus on drive to self-actualization ___________________________________ ◦ The existentialist view Emphasis on self-determination, choice, and individual responsibility; focus on authenticity ___________________________________ 45 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 46 ___________________________________ Rogers’s Humanistic Theory and Therapy Believes in the basic human need for unconditional positive regard ___________________________________ ◦ If received, leads to unconditional self-regard ◦ If not, leads to “conditions of worth” Incapable of self-actualization because of distortion – do not know what they really need, etc. ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 46 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 47 ___________________________________ Rogers’s Humanistic Theory and Therapy Rogers’s “client-centered” therapy ___________________________________ ◦ Therapist creates a supportive climate Unconditional positive regard Accurate empathy ___________________________________ Genuineness ◦ Little research support ___________________________________ 47 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 48 ___________________________________ Gestalt Theory and Therapy Humanistic approach ___________________________________ ◦ Developed by Fritz Perls ◦ Goal is to guide clients toward self-recognition through challenge and frustration ___________________________________ ◦ Techniques: Skillful frustration Role playing ___________________________________ Rules, including “Here and Now” and “I” language 48 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 49 Spiritual Views and Interventions ___________________________________ The historical alienation between the clinical field and religion seems to be ending ___________________________________ Researchers have learned that spirituality can, in fact, be of psychological benefit to people ___________________________________ ◦ Many therapists now make a point of including spiritual issues when they treat religious clients ___________________________________ 49 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 50 Existential Theories and Therapy Believe that psychological dysfunction is caused by self-deception; people hide from life’s responsibilities and fail to recognize that it is up to them to give meaning to their lives In therapy, people are encouraged to accept personal responsibility for their problems ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ◦ Goals more important than technique ◦ Great emphasis placed on client-therapist relationship ___________________________________ 50 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 51 Assessing the Humanistic-Existential Model Strengths: ◦ Taps into domains missing from other theories ◦ Emphasizes the individual ◦ Optimistic ◦ Emphasizes health Weaknesses: ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ◦ Focuses on abstract issues Difficult to research ◦ Not much influence ◦ Weakened by disapproval of scientific approach ___________________________________ Changing somewhat ___________________________________ 51 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 52 ___________________________________ The Sociocultural Models Argue that abnormal behavior is best understood in light of the social and cultural forces that influence an individual ___________________________________ ◦ Address norms and roles in society Argue that we must examine a person’s social surroundings to understand his or her (abnormal) behavior ___________________________________ Include two major perspectives… ___________________________________ 52 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 53 ___________________________________ How Do Family-Social Theorists Explain Abnormal Functioning? Focus on: ___________________________________ ◦ Social labels and roles Diagnostic labels (example: Rosenhan study) ◦ Social networks and supports ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 53 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 54 ___________________________________ How Do Family-Social Theorists Explain Abnormal Functioning? Focus on: ___________________________________ ◦ Family structure and communication Family systems theory argues that abnormal functioning (especially in structure and communication) within a family leads to abnormal behavior (insane behavior becomes sane in an insane environment) ___________________________________ Examples: enmeshed, disengaged structures ___________________________________ 54 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 55 ___________________________________ Family-Social Treatments This perspective has helped spur the growth of several treatment approaches, including: ___________________________________ ◦ Group therapy ___________________________________ ◦ Family therapy ◦ Couple therapy ◦ Community treatment ___________________________________ Includes prevention work 55 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 56 ___________________________________ How Do Multicultural Theorists Explain Abnormal Functioning? Culture refers to the set of values, attitudes, beliefs, history, and behaviors shared by a group of people and communicated from one generation to the next The multicultural perspective has emerged as a growing field of study Multicultural psychologists seek to understand how culture, race, ethnicity, gender, and similar factors affect behavior and thought, as well as how people of different cultures, races, and genders differ psychologically ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 56 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 57 ___________________________________ How Do Multicultural Theorists Explain Abnormal Functioning? Researchers have learned that psychological abnormality is more common among poorer people than among wealthier people They also have noticed that the prejudice and discrimination faced by many minority groups may contribute to certain forms of abnormal functioning ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Multicultural researchers also study differences that occur across countries as well as within countries ___________________________________ 57 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 58 ___________________________________ Multicultural Treatments Studies have found that members of ethnic and racial minority groups tend to show less improvement in clinical treatment than members of majority groups ◦ Two features of treatment can increase a therapist’s effectiveness with minority clients: ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Greater sensitivity to cultural issues Inclusion of cultural models in treatment, especially in therapies for children and adolescents ___________________________________ 58 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 59 ___________________________________ Multicultural Treatments Given such findings, some clinicians have developed culture-sensitive and gendersensitive therapies ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 59 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 60 ___________________________________ Assessing the Sociocultural Models Strengths: ◦ Added greatly to the clinical understanding and treatment of abnormality Increased awareness of labeling and social roles ◦ Clinically successful when other treatments have failed Weaknesses: ◦ Research is difficult to interpret ___________________________________ Correlation causation ◦ Model unable to predict abnormality in specific individuals ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 60 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 61 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 61 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 62 ___________________________________ Integration of the Models Each perspective is valuable to understanding abnormal behavior Different perspectives are more appropriate under differing conditions An integrative approach provides a general framework for thinking about abnormal behavior, and also allows for specification of the factors that are especially pertinent to particular disorders ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 62 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 63 ___________________________________ Integration of the Models Many theorists, clinicians, and practitioners adhere to a biopsychosocial model: ___________________________________ ◦ Abnormality results from the interaction of genetic, biological, developmental, emotional, behavioral, cognitive, social, and societal influences Also popular: ___________________________________ ◦ Diathesis-stress approach Diathesis = predisposition (bio, psycho, or social) ___________________________________ 63 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Slide 64 ___________________________________ Integration of the Models Integrative therapists are often called “eclectic” – taking the strengths from each model and using them in combination ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ 64 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________
