    Study Notes

    Introduction to Psychopathology: The Science, Abnormality, Stigma, and Contemporary Views

    • Psychopathology is the scientific study of psychological disorders and involves the adoption of scientific methods to learn about the nature, causes, and treatment of psychological disorders.
    • Most psychologists become scientist-practitioners who rely on their scientific skills to ask meaningful questions, keep up to date on research findings, critically evaluate and synthesise information in logical ways, and deliver the most effective treatment possible for their clients.
    • Abnormality is determined by various indicators, including subjective distress, maladaptiveness, statistical deviancy, violation of standards of society, social discomfort, irrationality and unpredictability, and dangerousness.
    • Decisions about abnormal behaviour involve judgments based on cultural values and change over time, and culture can shape the clinical presentation of a disorder.
    • The DSM-5 defines a psychological disorder by clinically significant difficulties in thinking, feeling, or behaving, dysfunction in psychological, developmental, and/or neurobiological processes, and personal distress and/or impairment in functioning.
    • Stigma encompasses ignorance or limitations in knowledge about mental health, prejudice or negative attitudes toward mental illness, and unhelpful or discriminatory responses to people with mental health problems.
    • Stigma has a negative effect on self-esteem and help-seeking and can affect some more than others, with different kinds of stigma, including personal or public stigma, self-stigma, and perceived stigma.
    • Stigma towards mental illness is tied towards our history of how we have understood the causes of mental illness, including demonology, Gods, magic, and supernatural causes of mental illness.
    • The contemporary views of psychopathology include the psychoanalytic perspective, interpersonal perspective, attachment theory, behavioural perspective, cognitive-behavioural perspective, and biological perspective.
    • The psychodynamic influence suggests that childhood experiences help shape adult personality, there are unconscious influences on behaviour, and the cause and purpose of behaviour may not always be clear.
    • The behavioural perspective emphasises learning as the modification of behaviour as a consequence of experience, classical (Pavlovian) conditioning, and instrumental (operant) conditioning.
    • The cognitive-behavioural perspective emphasises the importance of understanding how thoughts and information processing can become distorted and lead to maladaptive emotions and behaviour, and has led to the use of cognitive therapy (cognitive restructuring) and third-wave CBTs.
    • Multidimensional models of psychopathology are interdisciplinary, eclectic, and integrative, draw upon information from several sources, and involve an interactive nature that considers psychological and social factors and interventions alongside brain functioning.
