What is “Abnormal Psychology”? The study of human thinking and behaviors that • deviate significantly from the norm • cause distress to the person or people around him/her • are pervasive and present over time AP psychology: Mental, behavioral, developmental & personality disorders Categorizing and diagnosing abnormal behaviors: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V to be released in 2013) • 5 axes of diagnosing disorders – – – – evidence of clinical syndrome? evidence of personality disorder or mental retardation? evidence of general, non-abnormal medical condition? evidence of psychosocial or environmental issues for which there is high correlation with disorders? – GAF score: How well does person function in daily life? (0 = highly impacted; 100= high functioning, disorder minimal impact on person’s ability to live “normal” life) • What does manual NOT cover? – etiology (causes) – treatments • Why not? – too controversial because of the multiple-perspectives differing opinions! Symptoms Irrational thought sadness hallucinations fear Dangerous behaviors anti-social “breaks” from reality Hear voices Compulsive behaviors No self-esteem mood swings Unwanted thoughts Eccentric behaviors Uncontrolled rage criminal behavior Etiology? Traumatic experience? Relationships? Illness/virus/bacteria Genetics? Injury? Toxins? Abuse? Neglect? Poverty? The answer depends upon the perspective! Biopsychologists, psychotherapists, behaviorists, cognitivists and humanists all take a different approach to explaining causes. Incidence rates • Vary by country/culture—highest rates for many in USA • Vary by disorder (ranges between 0.1%-16%) • Vary by gender, socioeconomic status and age • Hard to know exact numbers because some go undiagnosed (personality disorders and others who may not seek treatment) while others possibly over-diagnosed (ADD, ADHD, conduct disorders) Many different kinds of disorders… Eating—Bulimia, anorexia, overeating, 6-min orthorexia video clip Somatoform—presenting true physical symptoms of illnesses or neurological disorders without suffering the actual illness/disorder; having unrealistic perception of one’s own body (body dysmorphia part 2); hypochondria Clip Dissociative—when a person separates his/her conscious self from his/her body (includes amnesia, “multiple personality”/dissociative identity disorder, out-of-body experiences) Clip Sybil (start at 3 minutes) 60 Minutes clip DID (3-min) HBO MPD (1-hour video) Still more types of disorders… Psychosis—mental break from reality, includes visual and auditory hallucinations, delusion (irrational beliefs), (schizophrenia clip 12-min 2 parts), Post-Partum Depression with psychosis (warning: this clip is disturbing and involves a mother killing her children) …and finally the rest! Mood—extreme sadness or variable moods with no environmental trigger (e.g. bipolar Sheen interview) Anxiety—extreme irrational fear (phobias), worries, obsessions, compulsions, PTSD, panic attacks, OCD video clip, hoarding clip Impulse control: OCD, trichotillomania clip Neurosis or psychosis? • Neurosis: outdated term (taken out of DSM in 1980) used to describe anxiety related disorders. • Psychosis: break from reality via delusions, hallucinations. Considered more severe than neurosis. Includes schizophrenia and other delusional disorders (e.g. PPD with psychosis). Childhood Disorders: A variety of disorders that begin in childhood ADD/ADHD—inability to focus, concentrate, must move New discoveries in neuroscience (6 minutes –ADHD treatment) Tourette/OCD—uncontrollable urges to move or speak, repetitive motions, odd noises, compulsions, unwanted thoughts Tourettes (video clip) Separation Anxiety Disorder—extreme fear of being away from mommy/daddy—leads to uncontrollable crying, tantrums Conduct disorder (naughty kid) Oppositional Defiant (very naughty kid!) Autism/Asperger’s (spectrum: highly functioning to non-verbal) Video clip Personality Disorders: Behaviors or mental processes that deviate significantly from the norm and impair the person’s life; disorder’s impact on person’s ability to lead healthy, stable life can vary from mild to extreme 3 categories: Odd, dramatic, anxious Personality Disorder Category 1: Odd/eccentric Paranoid Fearful, suspicious of others Schizoid (do not confuse this with schizophrenia!)
