Psychopathology Fundamentals

Introduction to Psychopathology, Multidimensional Models, Assessment, Diagnosis, and Anxiety Disorders

• Exposure to multiple uncontrollable and unpredictable frightening life events can lead to psychopathology.
• The social perspective highlights the importance of environment and has contributed to the development of programs to improve social conditions leading to maladaptive behavior.
• Multidimensional models of psychopathology are interdisciplinary, eclectic, and integrative, drawing upon information from several sources.
• The interactive nature of psychological and social factors and interventions can influence brain functioning, and it is essential to consider these factors together.
• Maintenance factors, rather than initiating factors, are typically more important in treating psychological problems.
• The Triple Vulnerability Model identifies general biological vulnerability, general psychological vulnerability, and disorder-specific psychological vulnerability as influencing factors for psychopathology.
• Clinical assessment involves systematic evaluation and measurement of psychological, biological, and social factors to diagnose and treat psychological disorders.
• The DSM-5 is a widely used classification system that aims to improve the validity of diagnoses and change from categorical to dimensional criteria.
• Anxiety, fear, and panic are distinct emotional experiences with different characteristics and triggers.
• DSM-5 anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and agoraphobia, specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and selective mutism.
• Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive anxiety and worry about multiple things occurring more days than not for at least 6 months, and it typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood.
• Cognitive-behavioral treatments, such as exposure to the worry process, are effective in treating generalized anxiety disorder.
