  1. Agenda – Monday, April 7th • Psychological Disorders • Overview • Perspectives • DSM-V • Example • Begin project • Homework: Reading Quiz  TUESDAY • AP COUNTDOWN: 28 regular days, 19 school days

  2. Psychological Disorders • BEHAVIOR MUST BE CONSISTENT AND/OR REPEATED • Someone’s behaviors, thoughts, and/or feelings must be… • 1.) Deviant • 2.) Distressful • 3.) Dysfunctional

  3. Perspectives • Psychodynamic • Disorders arise from childhood conflicts or unconscious thoughts • Examples • Most people who suffer from DID had extremely abusive childhoods • People with anxiety have failed to repress past experiences with stimuli

  4. Perspectives • Humanistic • Disorders arise from a failure to strive towards one’s full potential • Being out of touch with one’s true feelings • Examples • People who suffer from depression are unable to get out of their low on their own

  5. Perspectives • Cognitive • People suffer from disorders because their train of thought is irrational, dysfunctional, inappropriate • Examples • Most personality disorders originate because people view the world and certain situations in drastically different lights

  6. Perspectives • Sociocultural • Disorders arise from a dysfunctional society and home life • Examples • Why do so many homeless people suffer from disorders? (keep in mind, there are many ways to answers this question)

  7. Perspectives • Biological (Biomedical) • Disorders come from genetic inheritances, organic problems, or chemical imbalances • Examples • People who suffer from depression have a lack of serotonin production within their brain • People with antisocial personality disorder have a malfunctioning amygdala

  8. Perspectives • Behavioral • People have disorders because certain behaviors and thoughts have been reinforced, punished, or observed over many years • Examples • Someone with PTSD would have been continually punished by the loud noises and threatening stimuli around them in a war-like situation

  9. Perspectives • Biopsychosocial • Combination of many different perspectives • Argues that people can have genetic predispositions AND a bad environment AND cognition can play a role in developing a disorder • Examples: • An individual with a genetic predisposition for depression could lose their job and develop the disorder

  10. DSM-V • “The big book of disorders” • Explains symptoms and a person’s background • Does not provide treatment or reasons why a person developed the disorder

  11. Agenda – Tuesday, April 8th • Abnormal Psych Reading Quiz • Work on Fractured Fairy Tales project • Frequently Asked Questions • Work time on laptops • Homework: Project due THURSDAY

  12. FAQS • Which version of the fairy tale can my group use? • Any version, as long as you specify which one and you stay consistent • Where should I save my project? • Google Drive. Always. • Does every group need to present their case study? • Yes, but you can earn extra credit by making it more visually appealing for your classmates • I really need to present it to the class? • Yes. • What if we don’t know the character’s family or medical history? • Use whatever information is available to you from their story. Do not fabricate very important information, but get creative with their thoughts and emotions based on their known behavior
