Lecture: Introduction and suicide
Introduction
CP is a new course with the following goals: to have knowledge on psychopathology/disorders; to know how science and practice of CP interact; and to be able to make a theoretical argument out of scientific literature.
There are 8 non-obligatory lectures (which will be streamed) and 8 obligatory workgroups (you may miss 1 workgroup with a good reason and do some compensatory work), in which you are expected to give a presentation (about 30 minutes total) and write a paper (shorter than 2500 words, see instructions on Blackboard). The exam contains 8 to 10 open questions.
There is a document on Blackboard which shows some chapters you should read before a lecture. However, all the chapters from the books are relevant for the exam (but the chapters used could be a hint on what they think is most important). Watch out for scientific papers, for tables can be quite specific – don’t learn them by heart, these are not very relevant. Percentages are sometimes relevant, but never precise numbers.
Your grade consists of an exam grade (40%, should be at least 5.5), workgroup participation grade (20%, can be any grade) and a paper grade (40%, should be at least 5.5).
Suicide
Suicide and contagion
About 1 million people a year commit suicide worldwide. For example, Dutch writer Joost Zwagerman commited suicide one day before this lecture. He had showed numerous risk factors, such as being severly depressed several times and almost losing his father to suicide (perhaps genetic factors?).
A few examples of risk factors for suicide are prior suicide attempt(s), depression, schizophrenia, economic hardship etc.
About 5 people a day commit suicide in Holland, this number is increasing.
Because of this recent celebrity suicide of Zwagerman, there will probably be a lot of attention for this suicide. This is worrysome, because suicide is contagious: hearing about suicide will make some people (mostly people who are already suicidal) commit suicide.
The number of remissions (fallbacks) after two years is higher amongst people with anxiety and people with both anxiety and depression than people with ‘only’ depression.
Antidepressants and losing personality
Kramer, a clinical practitioner, wrote about Prozac: he wrote about patients coming back to their psychiatrist after a depression, not because they have remissions, but because they feel like they lost their personality. ‘I am no longer my self’. This could be a main effect of Prozac.
Typically, depression comes with a lot of anxiety too, which is important to know because anxiety is more chronic. In a treatment, depression reduces first, then neuroticism and extraversion improve.....read more

Lecture 1
Establishment of Clinical Psychology
The roots for clinical psychology go back to the Second World War when many soldiers returned traumatised after fighting in the war. The clinicians to that time have not had a clear treatment guidelines, but did what “felt right”. The need of finding ways to treat those people finally led to the establishment of the Journal of Clinical Psychology in 1945. Shortly afterwards, application of the scientist-practitioner started, so that empirical findings were used in clinical practice. Carl Roger stressed the importance of finding ways in which treatment can become more effective. According to Roger, therapies should be studied more in detail in order to become more knowledgeable about how it can be improved.
Clinical Psychology
Clinical psychology (psychopathology) has two different components. It includes the symptoms of the psychological disorders on the one hand, and the scientific study of those symptoms on the other hand. Abnormal psychology is used as a synonym for clinical psychology. When using the term “abnormal”, it is important to define when behaviour is normal versus abnormal. Several factors are taken into account in defining abnormal behaviour. Firstly, “abnormal” involves the deviation from a statistical norm, implying that abnormal behaviour is unusual and can be quantified. However, this criterion can be problematic since comparing normal versus abnormal behaviour usually involves subjective judgment. Furthermore, not all behaviour that deviates from the norm is considered negative: if a great pianist plays the piano every time he is able to do so, for example, this behaviour is not considered to fall into the category of “abnormal psychology”.
Another aspect when considering abnormality is the cultural context of that behaviour. There are no universal standards in the diagnosis of abnormal behaviour. One behaviour might be considered normal in one culture, but abnormal in another one. As a result, people may not receive treatment for specific disorders in some countries. An example which shows the importance of the cultural background is the pseudo-scientific disorder drapetomania: in the past, slaves who ran away from their employers were considered to have this “mental illness”.
Furthermore, abnormality also depends on the individual’s functioning in society. Abnormal behaviour may represent itself by disfunction in daily living. However, not all dysfunctional behaviours are caused by psychopathology: the fact that people spend more time sleeping in winter than in summer can for example better be explained by evolution.
A further criterion of “abnormal” behaviour is that it is distressing or disabling the person. This definition is independent of culture. However, it requires the person to be aware of the negative consequences of the.....read more

Lecture 1
1. What is this thing?
A common view of science is that scientific knowledge is simply derived from the facts. In the first part of the book this view has been criticized because much of this statement cannot be justified, in this chapter it will be described why this view is not completely incorrect. It is claimed that science is based on facts and that these can be collected with the use of the senses. It is about what we can perceive with our senses instead of personal opinions. If the observation is done careful and unprejudiced, the facts will be a secure objective basis for science.
In the seventeenth century, modern science became possible. Until that time, the knowledge was based on authority of Aristotle and the Bible. Two schools of thoughts formally state this common view. Empiricism claims that scientific knowledge is based on sense perception. Positivism communicates the same in a broader sense still and was less psychological orientated. The logical positivists build further on the idea of positivism and paid more attention to the logical form of the relationship between scientific knowledge and facts. There are two issues involved in the statement that science is derived from facts. The first is the nature of the facts and how scientists can have access to them, the second is how laws and theories are derived from facts once they have been obtained. The assumed basis of science can be summarized within three statements. Firstly, observers perceive the world via their senses in an unprejudiced fashion. Secondly, the observed exists independent of any theory. And thirdly, the observed is handled as facts that serve as a reliable foundation for scientific knowledge.
Seeing is believing
Especially sight is used to observe the world, therefore, in this article only the sense sight will be addressed but this example is extendable to the other senses. There are two points in the empiricist view of science that are important. First, human observers have direct access to knowledge of facts about the world as long as they can see them. Second, two observers who look from the same place will the same object. However, these ideas are misguiding.
Visual experiences not determined solely by the object viewed
There is a lot of evidence that what observers see is not always the same although they are looking at the same thing. For example, optical illusions show that two observers do not always see the same objects in a certain picture. Moreover, they cannot voluntarily switch between which object they want to see in a picture. What you see is depended of
