Study Notes
Abnormal Behavior in Historical Context
-
Definition of Abnormal Behavior: Psychological dysfunction, personal distress or impairment, and atypical or not culturally expected behavior.
-
Science of Psychopathology:
- Clinical Description: Study of psychological disorders, including prevalence, incidence, onset, and course.
- Causation (Etiology): Study of the origins of disorders.
- Treatment and Outcomes: Evaluating treatment effects and their relationship to theoretical approaches.
Supernatural Traditions
- Deviant Behavior: Abnormal behavior viewed as a manifestation of good versus evil.
- Causes of Perceived Evil: Unexplainable behavior, suffering, and upheaval.
Stress and Melancholy (14th-15th centuries)
- Insanity as Natural Phenomenon: Insanity viewed as a treatable condition caused by mental or emotional stress.
- Treatments: Rest, sleep, happiness, potions, and baths.
Moon and Stars
- No Scientific Evidence: Belief that psychological functioning is affected by celestial bodies lacks scientific support.
Biological Traditions
- Hippocrates and Galen: Proposed that abnormal behavior stemmed from imbalances in bodily humors (blood, black bile, yellow bile, phlegm).
- Pasteur and Syphilis: Identified a bacterial cause (syphilis) for some mental symptoms (delusions, bizarre behavior). Untreated syphilis leads to deterioration and death; treatable with penicillin.
- Grey: Emphasized physical causes and treatments like rest, diet, and good environment for mentally ill patients.
Psychological Traditions
- Moral Theory (Philippe Pinel): Focus on humane treatment and social interaction for institutionalized patients.
- Ben Rush: Considered the "father of North American psychiatry".
- Psychoanalytic Theory (Sigmund Freud):
- Unconscious Mind: Freud and Breuer discovered the influence of the unconscious on psychological disorders through hypnosis.
- Catharsis: Reliving and releasing emotional trauma as a therapeutic technique.
- Mind Structure: Id (pleasure principle), ego (reality principle), superego (moral principle).
- Defense Mechanisms: Unconscious processes to manage anxiety resulting from id and superego conflicts.
- Psychosexual Stages: Oral, anal, phallic, latency, genital.
- Humanistic Theory (Maslow, Rogers, Perls):
- Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Basic needs must be met before higher-level needs.
- Self-Actualization: Reaching one's full potential.
- Rogers' Person-Centered Therapy: Unconditional positive regard for the client.
- Behavioral Model (Pavlov, Watson, Skinner):
- Classical Conditioning (Pavlov): Learning associations between stimuli.
- Watson: Behaviorism, fears are learned and can be unlearned.
- Skinner: Operant conditioning, learning through consequences (rewards, punishments). Systematic desensitization.
Integrative Approach to Psychopathology
- One-Dimensional vs. Multidimensional Model: One-dimensional models attribute causes to a single factor; multidimensional models consider multiple factors.
- Behavioral Influences: Learned behaviors, including phobias, and avoidance responses.
- Biological Influences: Inherited traits and neurological factors.
- Emotional Influences: Role of emotions in psychological disorders
- Social Influences: Impact of social interactions on behavior and adjustment.
- Developmental Influences: Periods in development where individuals are more or less reactive to factors.
- Genetic Contributions:
- Genes: Long DNA molecules.
- Nature vs. Nurture: Ongoing debate about the roles of genes and environment.
- Polygenic: Many genes contributing to behavior.
- Diathesis-Stress Model: Inherited vulnerability (diathesis) triggered by stress.
- Reciprocal Gene-Environment Model: Genes influence how individuals respond to the environment.
- Epigenetics: Gene expression passed through generations influenced by the environment.
Neuroscience
- Central Nervous System: :Brain, spinal cord, neurons
- Brain Structure: Brainstem, cerebellum, thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system, and 4 lobes.
- Peripheral Nervous System: ANS, SNS, PNS, Endocrine System.
- Neurotransmitters: Glutamate, GABA, serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine.
Behavioral and Cognitive Science
- Conditioning: Classical and operant conditioning.
- Learned Helplessness: Giving up attempting to cope due to perceived lack of control.
- Positive Psychology: Promoting positive attitudes and happiness.
- Emotions: Arousal, feelings, physiological responses, and their role in psychopathology.
Cultural, Social, and Interpersonal Factors
- Gender Roles: Cultural expectations influencing different prevalence rates of disorders and responses to treatment.
- Lifespan Development: Experiences at different stages impacting vulnerability to disorders.
Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis
- Reliability and Validity: Consistency and accuracy of measurements.
- Clinical Interviews: Gathering information on behavior, attitudes, and emotions.
- Mental Status Exam: Observing appearance, thought processes, mood, affect, and intellect.
- Behavioral Assessment: Antecedents, behaviors, and consequences (ABCs) observable behaviors.
- Psychological Testing: Projective tests (e.g., Rorschach, TAT), personality tests (e.g., MMPI), intelligence tests (e.g., Stanford-Binet, Wechsler).
- Neuropsychological Testing: Pinpointing brain dysfunction.
- Neuroimaging: Structural and functional brain images such as PET, fMRI, CAT, and MRI.
- Psychophysiological Testing: Measuring physiological responses (EEG, ERP, skin conductance).
- Diagnosing Issues: Classical categorical vs. dimensional vs. prototypical approach.
- DSM-5 and Issues: Classification issues, comorbidity in DSM-5. Labeling and stigma
