Behavior and feelings that distress causeto the individual and the persons around him are also often regarded as abnormal.
Strongly deviant (deviant) behaviors, such as chronic lying and stealing, lead to assessments of abnormality.
Behaviors that are dangerous (dangerous) to the individual, such as self-harm, or to others, such as serious aggression, are also seen as abnormal.

Introduction to personality, clinical and health psychology
Chapter 1. What is abnormality?
- The study of abnormal psychology is the study of people who suffer from mental, emotional and often physical pain. This is often called psychopathology.
- Cultural relativism states that behavior can only be abnormal according to current cultural norms and not through universal standards.
- The distress-criterium states that behavior can be viewed as abnormal when a person experiences distress as a consequence of that behavior.
- Modern judgments of abnormality are not based on a single criteria, but are influenced by an interplay of the four D’s: dysfunction, distress, deviance and dangerousness.
- There are three types of theories that try to describe the causes of abnormal behavior: biological, supernatural and psychosocial theories.
- A psychological epidemic is a phenomenon in which a large number of people show abnormal behavior that seems to have a psychological cause.
- Franz Anton Mesmer developed mesmerism. This is a method based on animal magnetism. His treatments took patients into a state of trance that later would be called hypnosis.
- Classical conditioning refers to connecting a conditioned response to a stimulus that before caused another response. Operant conditioning states that behavior that is followed by positive consequences is more likely to be repeated than behavior that is followed by negative consequences.
Chapter 2. What are the theories of and treatments for abnormality?
- A theory is a set of ideas that offers a framework upon which questions can be asked about a certain phenomenon and upon which information can be gathered and interpreted about that phenomenon.
- A therapy is a treatment, often based on a theory about a disorder, that deals with the factors that according to that theory cause the disorder.
- There are several approaches for explaining psychological complaints: the biological, psychological and sociocultural approach. Besides these there is also the biopsychosocial approach, which acknowledges that a disorder often cannot be explained by only one approach and which combines the three approaches.
- Three possible biological causes of abnormality are brain dysfunction (damage to a part of the brain), biochemical imbalance (imbalance in the neurotransmitters) and genetic abnormality (abnormalities caused by genes, such as Down syndrome). Treatment of biological abnormality consists of medication or psychosurgery.
- Treatments in psychosocial approaches are based on conditioning, behavioral therapies and cognitive therapies, and sometimes psychotherapy.
- Psychoanalysis (by Freud) is a theory of personality and psychopathology. It is a method to investigate the mind as a form of treatment of psychopathology.
- According to Freud there are psychosexual phases through which each child has to go. These are the oral phase, the anal phase, the phallic phase, the latent phase and the genital phase.
- Primary prevention tries to combat disorders before they start.

Week 1
Workgroup information
Unconscious behaviour = automatisms.
95% of our behaviour. This is simply routine behaviour, which is context/stimulus-driven. This means that something in your surrounding simply activates this behaviour, such as coughing after inhaling smoke from a fire.
It is a result of conditioning or associations.
Conscious behaviour = planned behaviour 5% of our behaviour. It is the result of what we plan to do. It takes into account our assessment of our own abilities and what we think other people will think of our behaviour.
Antecedents are stimuli that precede behaviour. They are a signal to our brain to instigate (start) a certain behaviour. Antecedents can take the form of events, people, feelings, thoughts, etc.
There are three types of antecedents, beliefs, interpretations and self-convictions.
Starting assignment
- Describe one negative behaviour of your own that you’d like to work on (or should work on) over the next few weeks. It must be a behaviour that currently has a negative effect on your life or a behaviour that prevents a positive effect that you would actually like. The behaviour must also occur regularly (at least twice a week). Tip: If you can’t think of anything that would be good to change, you can ask someone else (who knows you well): perhaps he/she has noticed an area where you could / should change your behaviour.
- Formulate one sentence that expresses what you want to change: “I want to……..”. Your description of the behaviour should be measurable (state how often the behaviour may/must occur within a specific time period), active (describe what you will do, not what you will refrain from doing) and personal (describe what you are going to change, not what other people should do). Together, these three terms stand for MAP.
- Describe why changing this behaviour is important for you.
