Mental Health Perspectives - Abnormal Behavior

In this lecture, we will review the following perspectives: The Medical Perspective; The Psychodynamic Perspective; The Behavioral Perspective; The Cognitive Perspective; and The Social‐Cultural Perspective.

Those in the field of abnormal psychology study people's emotional, cognitive, and/or behavioral problems. Abnormal behavior may be defined as behavior that is disturbing (socially unacceptable), distressing, maladaptive (or self‐defeating), and often the result of distorted thoughts (cognitions).

There are a number of different perspectives used in abnormal psychology. While some psychologists or psychiatrists may focus on a single viewpoint, many mental health professionals use elements from multiple areas in order to better understand and treat psychological disorders.

I am open to additional lecture title suggestions… so if you have a topic in mind, send me your request.
