Understanding Psychopathology
> A psychological disorder is (1) a psychological dysfunction within,
an individual that is (2) associated with distress or impairment in
{functioning and (3) a response that e not typical or culturally ex-
pected All three basic aiteria must be met: no one criterion alone
thas yet been identified that defines the essence of abnormality.
> ‘he field of psychopathology is concerned with the scientific study
of psychologteal disorders. Trained mental health professionals
range from clinical and counseling psychologists to psychiatrists
and psychiatric social workers and nurses, Each profession.
roquites a specific ype of traning.
Using scientific methods, mental health professionals can function.
as scientist practitioners Uhey not only keep up with the latest
findings but also use scientific data to evaluate their own work,
and they often conduct research within their clinics or hospitals.
> Research about psychological disorders falls into three basic
‘eategories: description, causation, and treatment and outcomes.
The Supernatural, Biological, and Psychological
Traditions
Historically, there have been three prominent approaches to
abnormal behavior. In the supernatural tradition, abnormal,
Dbchavior ie attributed to agents oxtside our bodies or socal
environment, such as demons, spirits, oF the influence ofthe
‘moon and stars: although sil alive, this tradition has been
largely replaced by biological and psychological perspectives
In the biological tradition, disorders are attributed to disease or
biochemical imbalances in the psychological tradition, abnor.
-mal behavior i attributed to faulty psychological development
and to socal context.
Each tradition has its ovmn way of trating individuals who suder
‘rom paychological disorders, Supernatural treatments include
28 cHaPTER
exorcism to rid the body ofthe supernatural spirits. Biological
‘treatments typically emphasize physical care and the search for
medical cures, especialy drugs. Psychological approaches use psy-
hosocial treatments, beginning with moral therapy and including
modern psychotherapy
> Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalytic therapy, oered an
claborate conception ofthe unconscious ming, much of which
isstill conjecture. In therapy, Freud focused on tapping into the
systeries of the unconscious through such techniquet as athar-
sis, fre association, and dream analysis. Although Freud’sfollow-
xs veered from his path in many ways, Freuds influence can sill
be felt today.
‘One outgrowth of Freudian therapy is humanistic psychology,
which focasee more on human potential and eelf-actuaizing than
‘on psychological ditorders, Therapy that has evolved from dhe sp-
proach i known ae person-centered therapy; the therapist shows
Almost unconditional positive regard forthe clients feclings and
thoughts
‘The behavioral model moved psychology into the realm of science.
Both esearch and therapy focus on things that are measurable,
including euch techniques as systematic desensitization reinforce
‘ment, and shaping.
The Present: The Scientific Method
and an Integrative Approach
> With the increasing sophistication of our scientific tools, and new
knowledge from cognitive science, behavioral science, and neu
roscience, we now realize that no contribution to psychological
disorders ever occurs i isolation. Our behavior, both normal and
abnormal, sa product ofa continual interaction of psychological,
biological, and social insluencs.

Models
> ‘The causes of sbnormal behavior are complex and fascinating.
Psychological disorders are caused by a complex interplay of
nature (biology) and nurture (psychosocial factor).
To dentify the causes of psychological disorder in a given per
4s0n we must consider the interaction of ll relevant dimensions
genetic contributions, the role ofthe nervous syster, behavioral
and cognitive processes, emotional influences, social and inter
personal influences, and developmental factors. Thus, we have
arrived ata mulidimensional integrative approach othe causes
‘of psychological disorders
Genetic Contributions to Psychopathology
> “the genetic influence on much of our development and most of|
‘our behavior personality, and even 1Q score is polygenie—that
is, iniuenced by many gens. This is assumed tobe the casein
abnormal behavior as well although research is beginning to
identify specific smal groups of genes that relate to some major
psychological disorders
> In studying causal relationships in psychopathology, researchers
look a the interactions of genetic and environmental elfect, In
the diathesis-stress model, individuals ae assumed to inherit cer-
‘sin vulnerabilities that make them susceptible to a disorder when
the right kind of stressor comes along, In the gene-environment
cortelation or reciprocal gene-environment model, the in
viduals genetic vulnerability oward a certain disorder may make
itmore likely thatthe person will experience the stressor that,
‘turn, riggers the genetic vulnerability and thus the disorder.
Inepigenctics, the immediate effects of the environment (such
as caly stressful experiences) inluence cells that turn certain
‘genes on of ff. hie ffect may be passed dow through several
‘generations.
Neuroscience and Its Contributions
to Psychopathology
Brain science and the field of neuroscience promise much as
‘we ty to unravel the mysteries of poychopathology. Within the
nervous eystem, levels of neurotransmitter and neuroendocrine
activity interact in complex ways to modulate and regulate emo-
‘ons and behavior and contribute to psychological disorders.
> Critical to our understanding of psychopathology are the neu
rolranstntter currents called brain crete. Of the newrotrans-
siters that may play akey roe, we investigated live: serotonin,
.gamma-aminebutyric acid (GABA), glutamate, norepinephrine,
snd dopamine.
Behavioral and Cognitive Science
> “The relatively new Geld of cognitive science provides avalusble
perspective on how behavioral and cognitive infuencesalfect
‘the learning and adaptation each of us experience throughout
life. Clearly, such influences not only contribute to psychologi-
cal disorders but also may directly modify brain functioning,
brain structure, and even genetic expression, We examined some
research in this field by looking a learned helplessness, modeling,
prepared earning, and implicit memory.
Emotions
> Emotions havea direct and dramatic impact on our function-
ing and play a central role in many mental disorders. Mood, &
pefsistent period of emotionality, soften evident in psychological
Aisordere.
Cultural, Social, and Interpersonal Factors
> ‘Social and interpersonal inluences profoundly allect both peycho-
logical disorders and biology.

‘Two fondamental experiences can contribute either singly or in
‘combination to all specific mood disorders: a major depressive
‘episode and mania. lese severe episode of mania that does
not cause impairment in social or occupational functioning is
known asa hypomanic episode. An episode of mania coupled
with anxiety or depression is known as mixed episode or
mixed state,
An individual who suffers from episodes of depression only is said
tohave a unipolar disorder. An individual who alternates between
{depression and mania has a bipolar disorder,

it ie always time-limited, in another form of depression, persistent
depressive disorder (dysthymia), the symptoms ae often some-
‘what milder bat remain relatively unchanged over lng periods
{mn some eases, fewer symptoms are observed than in a major
depressive episode, but they pesit for at least wo years (persistent
depressive disorder) (dysthymia);in other cases, a major depres-
«sive epizode wil last atleast wo years (chronic major depressive
‘episode)-tn cass of double depression, aform of persistent de-
pressive disorder, an individual experiences both major depressive
episodes and persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia)
Approximately 20% of bereaved individuals may experience a
complicated grief reaction in which the normal grief response
develops into a fll-blown mood disorder.
‘The key identifying feature ofbipolar disorders isan alternation

The personality disorders represent long standing and ingrained
‘wayeof thinking, feeling, and behaving tha ean cause sgn
‘cant distress. Because people may display two or more ofthese
maladaptive ways of interacting with the world, considerable
disagreement remains ver how to categorize the personality
disorders.
> DSM-S includes 10 personality disorders that are divided into
three clusters: Cluster A (odd or eccentric) includes paranoid
‘schizoid, and schizotypal personality disorders; Custer 3
(Gramati, emotional, o erratic) includes antisocial, borderline,
bistionic, and narcissistic personality disorders and Cluster C
(anxious or fearful) includes avoidant, dependent, and obsessve-
compulsive personality disorders
Cluster A Personality Disorders
» People with paranoid personality disorder are excessively mi
trustful and suspicious of other people, without any justification
“They tend not to confide in others and expect other people to do
(hem harm.
» People with schizoid personality disorder show a pattern of
detachment from social relationships and a limited range of
emotions i interpersonal situations. They seem aloof, cold, and
indifferent to other people
» People with schizotypal personality disorder are typically socially
‘goTated and behave in ways that would seem unusual (o most of
us. In addition, they tend tobe suspicious and have odd beliefs
about the world.
Cluster B Personality Disorders
» People with antisocial personality disorder havea history ofuiling
‘to comply with social norms. They perform actions most of us
‘would find unacceptable, suchas stealing from fiends and family
“They also tend tobe iresponsible, impulsive, and deceit
> In contrast to the DSM-5 eriteria for antisocial personality, which
focus almost entirely on observable behaviors (for example,
480 CHAPTER 17 PERSONALITY DISORDERS
impulsively and repeatedly changing employment, residence, or
sexual partners), the related concept of psychopathy primarily re-
fects underlying personality traits (for example, sel-centeredness
for manipulativeness)
People with borderline personality disorder lack stabi in their
‘moods and in ther relationships with other people, and they
taually hve poor self-esteem, These individual often feel empty
and are at gret risk of suicide
> Individuals wit histrionic personality disorder tend to be overly
dramatic ang often appear almost to be acting.
People with narcissistic personality disorder think highly of
themselves—beyond their real abilities, They consider them:
selves somchow diferent from others and deserving of special
weatment
Cluster C Personality Disorders
» People with avoidant personality disorder are extremely sensitive
to the opinions of othere and therefore avoid social relationships.
‘heir extremely low self ester, coupled witha fear of rejection,
causes them to reject the attention of others
> Individual with dependent personality disorder rely on others to
the extent of letting them make everyay decisions, as well as ma-
jor ones; this results in an unzeasonable fear of being abandoned,
People who have obsessive-compulsive personaly disorder are
characterized by a fiation on things being done “the right way”
“This preoccupation with details prevent them fom completing
such of snything,
> “Treating people with personality disorders is often dificult be-
cause they usually do not see that their dificlties ar a result of|
‘the way they relate to others,
Personality disorders are important forthe clinician to consider
because they may interfere with ears to treat more speciic
problems such as anxiety depression, or substance abuse. Un
orvunately, the presence of one or more personality disorder ie
associated with a poor treatment outcome and a generally negs-
tive prognosis.

» Schizophrenia is complex syndrome that has been recognized
for many years. Perhaps the earliest and best description of his
disorder was published in 1809 by John Haslam in his book
Observations on Madnes and Melancholy
> A.number of historic figures during the 19% and early 20% century
contributed tothe evolving definitions and possible causes of this
spectrum of disorders.
Clinical Description, Symptoms, and Subtypes
Schizophrenia is characterized by a broad spectrum of cognitive
an emotional dysfunctions that include delusions and hlluc.
‘nations, disorganized speech and behavior, and inappropriate
> he symptoms of schizophrenia can be divided into posi-
tive, negative, and disorganized. Positive symptoms are active
manifestations of abnormal behavior, oF an excess or distortion
of normal behavior, and include delusions and hallucinations
"Negative symptoms involve deficit in normal behavior on such
dimensions as affect, speech, and motivation. Disorganized
‘symptoms include rambling speech, erratic behavior, and inap.
propriate afc.
Peychotic behaviors, suchas hallucinations and delusions, char
acterize several other disorders; these include schizophreniform
disorder (which includes people who experience the symptoms
of schizophrenia for les than 6 months); schizoaffective disorder
(oehich includes people who have symptoms of schizophrenia and
who exhibi the characteristics of mood disorders, such a depres
sion and bipolar affective disorder) delusional disorder (which
includes people with a persistent bli that e contrary to reality,
in the absence ofthe other characteristics of schizophrenia) and
brie psychotic disorder (which includes people with one or more
positive symptoms, such as delusions, hallucinations, or dsorga-
nized speech or behavior over the course ofess than a month).
> A proposed new disarder—attenuated peychosissyndrome—
‘hich includes one or more ofthe symptoms of schizophrenia
such as hallucinations or delusions, but the individual is aware
that there are unusual experiences and are not sypical for a healthy
person. Thisis included inthe Appendix of DSM-S asa disorder
in need of further study
Prevalence and Causes of Schizophrenia
> A numberof causative factors have been implicated for schizo-
pphrenia, including genetic influences, neurotransmiterimbal-
ances, structural damage tothe bran caused by a prenatal viral
infection or birth injury, and psychelogieal stressors.
[Relapse appears to be triggered by hostile and critical family ene
ronments characterized by high expressed emotion.
Treatment of Schizophrenia
> Successful treatment for people with schizophrenia rarely includes
complete recovery. The qualiyof if for these individuals ean
‘be meaningfully lected, however, by combining antipsychotic
‘medications with paychosocial approaches, employment support,
and community-based and family interventions
> Treatment typically involves antipsychotic drugs that are usually
aulministered with a variely of peychosocial treatments, with
{he goal of reducing relapse and improving skill in deficits
and compliance in taking the medications. The effectiveness of
treatment is limited, because echizophenta is typically a chronic
disorder.
