Chapter 1 - Essay Questions 1. Explanations for abnormal behaviour depend on various factors. Use several examples and describe some reasons why certain behaviours are or are not considered "abnormal." Difficulty: 2 QuestionID: 01-3-112 Learning Objective: 1.1 Describe the principles that have been used to define abnormality and then apply them to determine whether a particular behaviour may meet the definition of abnormal behaviour. Skill: Conceptual Answer: Some people hold certain beliefs that others may consider odd or bizarre. However, the difficulty that exists is determining whether or not a particular behaviour is abnormal. For example, extremely religious individuals may believe in spirits and healing powers, but they do not have a mental disorder. Although someone may behave in an odd manner, it does not necessarily mean that they are psychologically disordered. As well, someone who commits criminal acts and/or is behaving in a deviant manner is not necessarily mentally disordered. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that our interpretations or ideas of how other people behave may not necessarily imply that that individual is mentally ill. 2. Briefly describe and critique the principles used to establish the criteria for abnormality. Which definition best defines the concept of abnormality? Difficulty: 2 QuestionID: 01-3-113 Learning Objective: 1.1 Describe the principles that have been used to define abnormality and then apply them to determine whether a particular behaviour may meet the definition of abnormal behaviour. Skill: Conceptual Answer: Several principles are commonly used when determining the definition of abnormality. The statistical concept claims that behaviour should be judged abnormal if it occurs infrequently in the population. However, not all infrequent thoughts or actions should be considered abnormal. For example, those with an extremely high IQ are rare, but would be considered gifted as opposed to "abnormal." As well, some distressing and potentially problematic behaviours are quite common (e.g., depression, problematic alcohol use, cannabis use). Personal distress and dysfunction are often used as criteria. Patients experiencing a manic episode may feel little distress, however, and individuals who feel dissatisfied or in despair would not be labelled abnormal. Violation of social norms is also a criterion by which some people judge the presence of abnormal behaviour. People with schizophrenia, for example, may behave in ways counter to social norms; yet, so do criminals, and not all criminals are diagnosed with a mental disorder. Further, social norms vary over time and depending on the culture in question. It is generally a mental health expert who determines whether an individual suffers from a disorder; yet some believe that mental illness is socially constructed and is judged differently by different persons. None of the above criteria, on its own, is satisfactory in defining abnormal behaviour. No single criterion must be present or sufficient in defining abnormal behaviour, and generally all are used to some degree. 3. Approaches to conceptualizing and treating psychological abnormality have changed over time. Why is it valuable to be aware of the historical approaches to treating mental illness?

1-32 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Canada Inc.


Test Bank to accompany Perspectives in Psychopathology, 7e Answer: Many changes have occurred throughout time in the ways we have theorized about and treated mental illness. By examining historical accounts, we are better able to understand what we do today. Most of the ideas about abnormal behaviour reflect the general views of the time. When we criticize the ideas and treatments used in the past, we must remember that, in the future, people may scoff at our methods of treatment. Our ideas of what constitutes abnormal behaviour have changed over time. For example, in the past, individuals having visions were seen as gifted, whereas today they would be viewed as psychotic. Supernatural causes, such as possession, were accepted in the past as causing mental illness, while today natural causes such as biology, the environment, or personal experiences are accepted. It is important to keep in mind that many individuals, from Canada and elsewhere, have made discoveries that have influenced where we are today. Many more research and treatment findings will likely influence future treatment and conceptualization of mental disorders. 4. Compare and contrast the causes and treatment methods for madness used in Stone Age cultures and by the ancient Greeks and Romans and the Arabs. Difficulty: 2 QuestionID: 01-3-115 Learning Objective: 1.2 Understand how the conceptualization of psychological disorders changed from antiquity to the 1800s. Skill: Application Answer: Evidence from prehistory has implied that the Stone Age surgeons cut small holes in the skull (trephination), possibly to release evil spirits that were causing the victim to engage in abnormal behaviour. Hunter-gatherer societies viewed madness as resulting from supernatural causes, and they tended to invoke an emotional release through the use of trances. Greek and Roman thought emphasized more natural causes for madness. Hippocrates believed that madness was caused by an imbalance in bodily fluids, and his treatment methods reflected a more scientific approach. He suggested treatments such as exercise, bleeding and vomiting, and a good diet. Plato emphasized sociocultural causes and looked to the importance of dreams. His treatment approach reflected more of community care, suggesting that relatives should care for the mentally ill at home. Galen stressed both physical and mental sources of disorder, and effective treatments included comfortable surroundings (no stressful procedures), and talking about difficulties. The Arabs held a supportive, compassionate attitude towards the mentally ill. Treatment reflected these attitudes, with asylums being places of refuge and protection. Thus, views of mental illness changed from supernatural to natural, with treatment methods changing as well. 5. Describe the contributions of two historical persons in Europe who influenced the theory and treatment of mental illness. Difficulty: 2 QuestionID: 01-3-116 Learning Objective: 1.2 Understand how the conceptualization of psychological disorders changed from antiquity to the 1800s. Skill: Factual Answer: Paracelsus (1493-1541) was one of the first to attack the beliefs about the supernatural and offered naturalistic origins to madness. He rejected the four humours theory of Hippocrates and attempted to develop a new system classification where all mental illness was seen to stem from disturbances of the spiritus vitae (breath of life). He was the first to suggest that psychic conflicts causes mental disorders and utilized an early version of hypnotism as treatment. His view represented a more scientific approach to dealing with mental illness. Philippe Pinel (1745-1826) was one of the leaders of the reform movement to improve conditions for the mentally ill. Pinel was a true humanitarian who carried out dramatic changes in institutions at a time when few accepted his ideas. As well, he influenced psychiatry as a whole by developing a systematic and statistical approach to classifying, managing, and treating mental disorders. He was a scientist who emphasized natural causes to mental illness and firmly believed that the mentally ill should be treated with compassion and respect. 1-33 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Canada Inc.

Describe the reasons for this movement, the instrumental figures responsible for this movement, and the reasons behind its lack of success. Difficulty: 2 QuestionID: 01-3-117 Learning Objective: 1.2 Understand how the conceptualization of psychological disorders changed from antiquity to the 1800s. Skill: Factual Answer: Conditions for the mentally ill during the 1800s were horrendous. The mentally ill were left wandering from place to place and were rarely taken proper care of. In poorhouses, they were chained up and often taunted by visitors. Thus, reformers insisted on the establishment of mental asylums where proper care would be given to the mentally ill. Dorothea Dix (1802-1877), who became one of the leaders of the mental hygiene movement, visited a local prison, and, horrified by the conditions, became determined to make changes. She was also concerned with the suffering of mental patients and began a nationwide campaign to improve life for these individuals. Thus, the goal of the mental hygiene movement was to protect and provide humane treatment for the mentally ill. However, the movement of people into large asylums did not make life better. There was a problem with overcrowding, and staff did not have the time to properly care for the considerable number of patients. Physicians replaced psychosocial treatments with physical treatments, which were often cruel rather than compassionate. 7. Moral therapy was an important approach in the treatment of the mentally ill. Define the basis of this approach, describe the individuals responsible for promoting this approach, and why it lost popularity. Difficulty: 2 QuestionID: 01-3-118 Learning Objective: 1.2 Understand how the conceptualization of psychological disorders changed from antiquity to the 1800s. Skill: Factual Answer: Moral therapy, advocated by humanitarian reformers (such as Lett, Pinel, Tuke, and Rush), gained popularity in Europe and North America during the early 1800s. Moral therapy was based on the idea that the insane should be treated humanely, without physical restraints. Patients were to be treated with compassion and respect, in a relaxing, stress-free environment. Most advocates of moral therapy believed they could cure mental illness through peaceful surroundings, proper diet and exercise, and activities. In fact, moral therapy did appear to have positive benefits. However, during the 1900s, moral therapy in Canada lost popularity and was replaced by physical and chemical restraints and somatic therapy. Public institutions became larger, thus decreasing the use of moral therapy. Biological approaches suggested that mental problems could be solved quickly and easily through surgery or medication. Even today, no one therapy quite exemplifies the humane approach of moral therapy. 8. The growth of mental health services in Canada has been characterized by both positive and negative accomplishments. Describe two of the negative practices used and speculate on the importance of these events for modern practices. Difficulty: 2 QuestionID: 01-3-119 Learning Objective: 1.3 Describe at least two treatments that are associated with the biological approach and outline the current status of these treatments. Skill: Factual

Test Bank to accompany Perspectives in Psychopathology, 7e Answer: Various harsh methods have been used in the name of treating the mentally ill in Canada, even as late as the mid-1900s. One widely used treatment method was psychosurgery, such as prefrontal lobotomies. Tens of thousands of Canadians during the 1940s-60s had the frontal lobes of their brains disconnected or surgically removed. Most of these early lobotomies appeared to be performed to advance research or make life easier for the staff, as opposed to the health of the patient. Another abuse of psychiatric power in Canada was the brainwashing experiments performed by Dr. Ewen Cameron, at Montreal's Allen Memorial Hospital during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Cameron "treated" the patients to massive doses of electroconvulsive therapy, prolonged sensory deprivation, and chemically-induced sleep. During their periods of sleep, he played audiotapes to the patients telling them how horrible they were, and they must change. These unfortunate patients were also injected with LSD and were not told that they were being used in a research experiment. These two examples make us aware of the importance of treating patients ethically and with respect and humanity. It is important that people in charge of the mentally ill do not abuse their power and that their treatment be properly monitored. We need to make an attempt to help the mentally ill with as little discomfort as possible. 9. Describe why the discovery that syphilis was the cause of general paresis was important to the modern view of mental illness. Difficulty: 2 QuestionID: 01-3-120 Learning Objective: 1.3 Describe at least two treatments that are associated with the biological approach and outline the current status of these treatments. Skill: Conceptual Answer: Richard von Krafft-Ebing (1840-1902) was interested in the possibility that patients suffering from General Paresis of the Insane (GPI) may have acquired it through infection. Following Pasteur's germ theory of disease, Krafft-Ebing discovered that GPI was a long-term effect of syphilis. This finding sparked the view that all mental disorders might be caused by infections or some other biological factors. Somatogenesis (the belief that psychopathology is caused by biological factors) became a popular approach for those in the mental health field. There was increased optimism that all disorders would be cured by medical means. The discovery that GPI was caused by syphilis resulted in a more scientific approach to viewing mental illness and encouraged the use of various physical approaches to treatment. 10. Compare and contrast the somatogenic and psychogenic approaches to mental health and describe the positive effect that these approaches have had. Difficulty: 2 QuestionID: 01-3-121 Learning Objective: 1.3 Describe at least two treatments that are associated with the biological approach and outline the current status of these treatments. Skill: Factual Answer: The somatogenic approach focuses on biology. Somatogenecists assume that mental illnesses are caused by infections or disrupted biological functioning. The early somatogenecists thought that medication or surgery would "cure" the infection or physical problem, and mental health would be renewed. This approach was quite popular during the late 1800s and resulted in a more scientific approach to psychology, as well as experimentation with different types of physical treatments. During the 1950s, pharmacological agents became available and were associated with the idea that mental disorders are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. During this time, the effects that neurotransmitters had on behaviour was discovered and many drugs were synthesized which could be used to treat psychiatric patients. This proved to be very valuable.

Test Bank to accompany Perspectives in Psychopathology, 7e Psychogenic approaches focus on the psychological factors underlying mental illness. These approaches include Freud's psychoanalytic approach, Watson's behaviourism, and numerous others. Mesmer's work with hysteria spurred interest in this approach, treating hysteria with an early form of hypnosis. Charcot and Janet became particularly interested in psychological explanations of hysteria and the use of hypnosis as a treatment. Thus, psychoanalysis was born, as Breuer and Freud began to employ methods such as hypnosis and encouraging patients to talk about their past and their problems. Behaviourists believed that abnormal behaviour was learned and could be unlearned, and that in order for psychology to function as a science, only observable behaviour should be focused on. Although extremely different, both models have generated much research and increased our knowledge about the causes of mental illnesses and generated effective treatments. 11. After reading about the history of how mental illness has been dealt with, you are determined to advance the profession of psychology. You have been chosen to speak at a conference for the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) Task Force to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in clinical psychology. Define EBP, state the "goods" that it promises and how it can deliver them. Operationalize the concept of EBP for clinicians (i.e., what behaviours on the part of the clinician are entailed by a commitment to EBP?); make recommendations for how this could be implemented in one's practice and spread throughout the profession. Difficulty: 3 QuestionID: 01-3-122 Learning Objective: 1.4 Describe the contributions of at least two influential Canadian individuals in the field of mental health care. Skill: Conceptual, Application Answer: As defined by our colleagues at the American Psychological Association (APA), EvidenceBased Practice (EBP) refers to the integration of scientific evidence with individual expertise in order to inform optimum client care. The textbook tells us that the purpose is to bolster the efficacious treatment of mental disorders, maintain the competitiveness of psychologists in the mental health market, and to increase accountability and reduce liability. In lay terms, this means that clinicians actively maintain awareness of the most current and useful information available about the clients they treat and the methods they use to help those clients. That information will be based not only on research but also upon the experiences of colleagues that could usefully inform their clinical activities, help them avoid errors and pitfalls etc. EBP achieves these goods by increasing communication between and among clinicians and clinical researchers, reducing time, trial and error in finding the most effective assessment and treatment tools, making adjustments as indicated by the client's response. By utilizing the most up-to-date and pertinent information from researchers and fellow clinicians, the informed clinician provides the best treatment in the most efficient manner, with minimized risk of harm resulting from delays, trial-and-error, ineffective or inappropriate interventions. By helping our clients more effectively and efficiently, there is the added bonus of advancing the interests of psychology as a profession in the mental health marketplace. The value of a particular clinician's experience is recognized in the definition of EBP: communication among clinicians is part of what EBP is all about. At the same time, it is obvious that even the most experienced and knowledgeable clinician cannot compete with a database that is constantly evolving in response to the inputs researchers and clinicians from all over the world. Operationalized, EBP requires the clinician to identify and utilize appropriate and efficient sources of information regarding the problems they assess and treat – to routinely consume information relevant to their practice, and to seek more information as required. The available information can be described in terms of "layers", with the most accessible layer being clinical practice guidelines, which have "boiled down" the most current and pertinent information for the clinician who lacks the time to do this for him or herself. Other clinicians will prefer to go deeper, to review articles in journals that provide not only the clinical practice guidelines, but the controversies behind some of the decisions as to how to formulate 1-36 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Canada Inc.


Test Bank to accompany Perspectives in Psychopathology, 7e these. Clinicians will choose formats that suit their needs. The clinician can consult with their peers as to how to achieve this. EBP involves staying current, which requires a commitment of regular intake as well as focused searches as the need arises. Ideally, the EBP clinician will regularly receive communication with peers through networks (e.g., email listservs) where issues in implementing clinical practice guidelines, special populations and situations are discussed. Clinicians who take EBP seriously will feel obligated to disseminate information to their colleagues – not only information directly relevant to practice, but information about EBP itself and methods of efficiently accessing EBP information. Clinicians might see it as their duty to set up email listservs etc. This is a good thing for obvious reasons – i.e., more clinicians will be doing a better job, which is good for clients, clinicians, and the profession as a whole. It's also beneficial because greater numbers of clinicians sharing information will contribute not only to a faster-evolving database but also a better infrastructure for sharing the information. Clinicians might proactively think about ways they might achieve this, for example by sharing their information sources with colleagues in close proximity, seeking other opportunities in their spheres of influence etc. 12. Technology-delivered psychotherapy is becoming more and more popular. Describe the opportunities and the challenges that psychologists and other mental health professionals face with the proliferation of technology? Difficulty: 2 QuestionID: 01-3-123 Learning Objective: 1.5 Understand how the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted access to care concerns and describe the implications of recent technological advances on the provision of mental health services. Skill: Conceptualization Answer: The widespread availability of technology provides greater opportunity to provide access to psychological services to those who previously would not have had access. For example, those who live in remote areas would not have been able to gain easy access to psychological services at a clinic or at a hospital. Technology also introduces new ways to collect patient data. For example, tablets and smartphones make it possible to track behaviour in real time and this may be helpful in certain therapies and may improve the accuracy of data collection. But technology is associated with ethical challenges. For example, mental health professionals must be careful with the way they manage their online presence (e.g., on Facebook or Twitter) and must exercise caution in sharing personal information (e.g., photos) on social media platforms. Also, mental health professionals must carefully consider what opinions they decide to make public online.
