PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS True or False Very few people are actually affected by psychological disorders. People sometimes forget a very traumatic event as a way of coping with the psychological stress of the trauma. People whose illnesses are “all in their head” do not really have symptoms of disease. Depression is the most common type of psychological disorder. Some people do not feel guilty, even when they commit serious crimes. Psychological Investigation: Playing psychologist What does it really mean to be “normal” and “abnormal”? Notion of normality is incredibly subjective and fluid As society changes so do the concepts of normal and abnormal The concepts are culturally relative A look at the word: Normal “Norm” a statistical measure roughly equivalent to the average or median. American Psychological Association Once viewed homosexuality as an illness or abnormal. Today most psychologists view homosexuality to not be a deviant or abnormal condition. Defining Disorders Potential symptoms of abnormality: Mental disorders as a violation of cultural standards Mental disorders as maladaptive or harmful behavior Mental disorders as emotional distress A history of “abnormality” Those who behaved abnormally were possessed by spirits or demons. Treatments Exorcism- drive out demons by prayer, starvation, laxatives, or bloodletting. Flagellants- “saviors” of the church and morality who would whip or scourge demons out of a person for a price. Trephining- a hole is bore into the skull allowing the evil that inhabited the brain to escape (most patients died). The real deal about “abnormality” Mental Disorders Any behavior or emotional state that causes an individual great suffering or worry, is self-defeating or self-destructive, or is maladaptive and disrupts the person’s relationship to the larger community, Diagnosing Disorders: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV (DSM-IV) 1952: APA agreed upon a standard system for classifying abnormal behavior It has been revised four times; the most recent version is the 1994. Concerns About Diagnostic System •The danger of over diagnosis •The power of diagnostic labels •Confusion of serious mental disorders with normal problems •The illusion of objectivity DSM-IV Descriptions Essential features (primary) of the disorder Associated features (secondary) present Diagnosis criteria Testing for Disorders Observation and intake information Inventories Standardized objective questionnaires requiring written responses; they typically include scales on which people are asked to rate themselves. Rorschach Inkblot Test A projective personality test that asks respondents to interpret abstract, symmetrical inkblots.
