Psychological Disorders “Manic Monday” by The Bangles Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 (Think) On your power point notes, indicate what you think mental illness is. (Pair/Share) Share with your neighbor your thoughts about what mental illness is. A woman's mother died. After the funeral everyone went to the mother's house where everyone ate and remembered the mother. At the reception the woman noticed a man and fell head-over-heels in love with him. People kept occupying her time, talking to her about her mother. When she finally got free, she searched all over but the man had left. The woman was so upset as she hadn't even gotten his name, she was so taken with him. Two weeks later, she killed her sister. Why did she kill her sister? Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Ans: She killed her sister because she thought that since the man knew her mother and was at her funeral, maybe he knew her sister and would come to her funeral also. Then she could meet him. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 A form of “hypochondriasis” can occur when learning about abnormal psychology. • You may find that some of the symptoms we discuss in this chapter sound like something you have experienced. • This is normal; happens with medical students, too! • Note, though, that all psychological disorders involve exaggerations of normal tendencies. • If you can answer, “no” to the question, “Is this out of the norm for me?”, then you probably do not have a disorder! • Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 The medical model takes a “disease” view, while psychology sees psychological disorder as an interaction of biological, cognitive, social, and behavioral factors Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Psychopathology – Any pattern of emotions, behaviors, or thoughts inappropriate to the situation and leading to personal distress or the inability to achieve important goals ◦ Synonymous terms include: Mental illness Mental disorder Psychological disorder Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Three classic signs suggest severe psychological disorder • Hallucinations • Delusions • Severe affective disturbances Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Johnny has been hearing voices that are not his own and not coming from other people. These voices are mean and tell him that people are out to get him. Johnny is experiencing what? Sally has been telling people that she is the President of the United States when she clearly is not. She fully believes that she is and even goes to the White House and insists to the Secret Service that she be let in. Sally is experiencing what? Other signs of a disorder are more subtle, and a diagnosis depends heavily on clinical judgment; typically, two or more of these indicators are cause for concern. Distress Unpredictability Maladaptiveness Unconventionality and undesirable behavior Irrationality Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 • Prolonged anxiety • Overwhelmed to the point of losing concentration. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 • Others are afraid of the person due to how the person acts or behaves. • The person’s behavior interferes with their own well-being (e.g. drinking so heavily that the person loses their job or is in danger of harming others on the road.) Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 • Irrational speech (e.g. talking to someone who clearly is not there). • Talking in ways that are incomprehensible (e.g. word salad). • Behavior or emotional responses that are inappropriate to the situation (e.g. laughing at the scene of a tragedy). Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 • Erratic and inconsistent behavior from one event to the next (e.g., laughing and happy one day and then irritable and abusive the next – note, this is something that is continuous and not just due to “a bad day.”) • Individual acts as though they are experiencing a loss of control. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 • • The person behaves in ways that are statistically rare and violate social norms (the overall rules of society). Being merely “unusual” is not a sign of abnormality (e.g., green mohawk); however, if the individual is running around town wearing a green mohawk and nothing else, then that is abnormal. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Behavioral perspective – Abnormal behaviors can be acquired through behavioral learning – operant and classical conditioning Cognitive perspective – Abnormal behaviors are influenced by mental processes – how people perceive themselves and their relations with others Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Although most psychologists have reservations about the medical model, they do not deny the influence of biology on thought and behavior. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 The most widely used system, found in the DSMIV, classifies disorders by their mental and behavioral symptoms Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 DSM-IV: (newest is DSM – IV R and DSM V is in the works). Fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders; the most widely accepted classification system in the United States – recently revised. In multiaxial diagnosis, professionals look at the entire person, not just their “abnormal” behavior Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Axis I – Clinical Disorders (can be changed through medication or Axis II – Personality disorders and Mental Retardation (cannot be Axis III – General Medical Conditions Axis IV – Psychosocial and Environmental Problems Axis V – Global Assessment of Functioning (on a scale of 1-100 how symptoms can be treated) changed) the person is functioning at the time they are first seen – used as a comparative throughout treatment).
