Psychological Disorders
I felt the need to clean my room … would spend four to five hours at it… At the time I loved doing it. Then I didn't want to do it any more, but I couldn’t stop… The clothes hung… two fingers apart… I touched my bedroom wall before leaving the house… I had constant anxiety… I thought I might be nuts. Marc, diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) (from Summers, 1996)

Introduction How should we define psychological disorders?
How should we understand disorders? How should we classify psychological disorders?

Defining Psychological Disorders
9
Psychological Disorders
People are fascinated by the exceptional, the unusual, & the abnormal. This fascination may be caused by two reasons: During various moments we feel, think, & act like an abnormal individual. Psychological disorders may bring on unexplained physical symptoms, irrational fears, & suicidal thoughts.
10
Psychological Disorders
To study the abnormal is the best way of understanding the normal. William James ( ) There are 450 million people suffering from psychological disorders (WHO, 2004). Depression & schizophrenia exist in ALL cultures of the world.

Defining Psychological Disorders Definition of Disorders - Video 3min
Psychological disorders a syndrome marked by a clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior. Behavior that is deviant, distressful, & dysfunctional Varies between cultures, over time, & must be more than just deviant, must be harmful (distressful) Controversial & unclear at times: Attention deficit hyper activity Disorder a psychological disorder marked by the appearance by age 7 of 1 or more of 3 key symptoms; extreme inattention, hyperactivity, & impulsivity.

Understanding Psychological Disorders
13
Understanding Psychological Disorders The Medical Model
Until early 1800s mental illness- largely viewed as possession, evil, godly intervention Philippe Pinel French, late 17th–early 1800s REFORMER. Insisted these behaviors were a “sickness of the mind” often caused by severe stress & inhumane conditions Medical model Mental illness (psychopathology)
14
Medical Model When physicians discovered that syphilis led to mental disorders, they started using medical models to review the physical causes of these disorders. Etiology: Cause & development of the disorder. Diagnosis: Identifying (symptoms) & distinguishing one disease from another. Treatment: Treating a disorder in a psychiatric hospital. Prognosis: Forecast about the disorder.
15
Understanding Psychological Disorders The Biopsychosocial Approach
Today, psychologist contend that ALL behavior (normal/abnormal) arises from Interaction of nature & nurture But “mental illness” implies an internal problem or sickness. Current psychology considers the problem may be a growth-blocking difficulty in the person’s environment, current interpretation of events, or bad habits & poor social skills Influence of culture on disorders- may share underlying dynamic while differing in symptoms Bulimia, Susto ,Taijain-kyofusho

18
How are Psychological Disorders Diagnosed? Multiaxial Classification
Axis I Is a Clinical Syndrome (cognitive, anxiety, mood disorders [16 syndromes]) present? Axis II Is a Personality Disorder or Mental Retardation present? Axis III Is a General Medical Condition (diabetes, hypertension or arthritis etc) also present? Axis IV Are Psychosocial or Environmental Problems (school or housing issues) also present? Axis V What is the Global Assessment of the person’s functioning?
19
Labeling Psychological Disorders
20
Labeling Psychological Disorders
Critics of the DSM-IV argue that labels may stigmatize individuals. Rosenhan’s study “hearing voices,” saying “empty,” “hollow,” or “thud.” Otherwise gave good info…. All 8 diagnosed mentally ill Power of labels Labels may be helpful for healthcare professionals when communicating with one another & establishing therapy. Preconception can stigmatize Stereotypes of the mentally ill “Insanity” labels raise moral & ethical questions about how society should treat people who have disorders & have committed crimes.

Teacher Information Types of Files Animation
This presentation has been saved as a “basic” Powerpoint file. While this file format placed a few limitations on the presentation, it insured the file would be compatible with the many versions of Powerpoint teachers use. To add functionality to the presentation, teachers may want to save the file for their specific version of Powerpoint. Animation Once again, to insure compatibility with all versions of Powerpoint, none of the slides are animated. To increase student interest, it is suggested teachers animate the slides wherever possible. Adding slides to this presentation Teachers are encouraged to adapt this presentation to their personal teaching style. To help keep a sense of continuity, blank slides which can be copied and pasted to a specific location in the presentation follow this “Teacher Information” section.
122
Teacher Information Unit Coding
Just as Myers’ Psychology for AP 2e is color coded to the College Board AP Psychology Course Description (Acorn Book) Units, so are these Powerpoints. The primary background color of each slide indicates the specific textbook unit. Psychology’s History and Approaches Research Methods Biological Bases of Behavior Sensation and Perception States of Consciousness Learning Cognition Motivation, Emotion, and Stress Developmental Psychology Personality Testing and Individual Differences Abnormal Psychology Treatment of Abnormal Behavior Social Psychology
123
Teacher Information Hyperlink Slides - This presentation contain two types of hyperlinks. Hyperlinks can be identified by the text being underlined and a different color (usually purple). Unit subsections hyperlinks: Immediately after the unit title and module title slide, a page can be found listing all of the unit’s subsections. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of these hyperlinks will take the user directly to the beginning of that subsection. Bold print term hyperlinks: Every bold print term from the unit is included in this presentation as a hyperlink. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of the hyperlinks will take the user to a slide containing the formal definition of the term. Clicking on the “arrow” in the bottom left corner of the definition slide will take the user back to the original point in the presentation. These hyperlinks were included for teachers who want students to see or copy down the exact definition as stated in the text. Most teachers prefer the definitions not be included to prevent students from only “copying down what is on the screen” and not actively listening to the presentation. For teachers who continually use the Bold Print Term Hyperlinks option, please contact the author using the address on the next slide to learn a technique to expedite the returning to the original point in the presentation.
124
Teacher Information Continuity slides
Throughout this presentation there are slides, usually of graphics or tables, that build on one another. These are included for three purposes. By presenting information in small chunks, students will find it easier to process and remember the concepts. By continually changing slides, students will stay interested in the presentation. To facilitate class discussion and critical thinking. Students should be encouraged to think about “what might come next” in the series of slides. Please feel free to contact me at with any questions, concerns, suggestions, etc. regarding these presentations. Kent Korek Germantown High School Germantown, WI 53022
