Chapter Overview: 1.1 How Do We Define Abnormal Behaviour? 1.1.1 Criteria for Determining Abnormality Various criteria are used to define abnormal behaviour. Psychologists generally consider behaviour as being abnormal when it meets some combination of the following criteria: (1) unusual or infrequent; (2) socially unacceptable or in violation of social norms; (3) fraught with misperceptions or misinterpretations of reality; (4) associated with states of severe personal distress; (5) maladaptive or self‐defeating, or; (6) dangerous. 1.1.2 Cultural Bases of Abnormal Behaviour The determination of which behaviour patterns are deemed abnormal depends on cultural beliefs and expectations. Concepts of health and illness may also have different meanings in different cultures. Abnormal behaviour patterns may take different forms in different cultures, and societal views of abnormal behaviour vary across cultures. 1.1.3 The Continuum between Normal and Abnormal Behaviour Most behaviours can be placed on a continuum where individuals with no symptoms or those “struggling” do not meet criteria for abnormality, while individuals with mild, moderate, or severe display of symptoms meet criteria from abnormality. The present approach to diagnoses is categorical. 1.2 Historical Perspectives on Abnormal Behaviour 1.2.1 The Demonological Model Ancient societies attributed abnormal behaviour to divine or supernatural forces, known as the demonological model. Stone Age skulls have shown that our prehistoric ancestors practice trephining – cutting a hole in a person’s skull – possibly as a means of releasing demons. 1.2.2 Origins of the Medical Model: An “Ill Humour” There were some authorities in ancient times, such as the Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen, who believed that abnormal behaviour reflected natural causes. Hippocrates, for example, proposed that abnormal behaviour was due to an imbalance of humours, or vital fluids: phlegm, black bile, blood, and yellow bile. The importance of this theory was that it foreshadowed the development of the modern medical model of abnormal behaviour by which disorder and disease are seen as resulting from underlying biological processes.
