Study Notes
Overview of Abnormal Psychopathology
- Abnormal psychopathology refers to the scientific study of psychological disorders.
- Psychological disorders are defined as psychological dysfunctions within an individual that are associated with distress or impairment in functioning and a response that is not typical or culturally expected.
Historical Conceptions of Abnormal Behavior
- In ancient Greece, Hippocrates (400 B.C.) suggested that psychological disorders have both biological and psychological causes.
- Galen (200 C.E.) proposed that normal and abnormal behaviors are related to four bodily fluids or humors.
- During the 1300s and 1400s, superstition and demonic possession were believed to be the causes of mental disorders.
- The enlightened view of insanity as a mental or emotional disorder began to emerge in the 1400s.
Biological Tradition
- Paracelsus (1500s) suggested that the moon and stars affect psychological functioning, rather than possession by the devil.
- Louis Pasteur (1870) developed the germ theory of disease, which helped identify the bacterium that causes syphilis.
Psychological Tradition
- Plato thought that the two causes of maladaptive behavior were social and cultural influences in one's life and learning.
- Aristotle emphasized the influence of social environment and early learning on later psychopathology.
- Moral therapy, a system that originated with Philippe Pinel and Jean-Baptiste Pussin, involved humane and positive psychological interventions, producing "miraculous" results.
Theories
