In this lecture, we will review Perspectives on Abnormal Behavior to include: 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).

Over the next few weeks, we will be learning about the following:
What is Clinical Psychology; Historical Foundations of Mental Disorders; Influences on Human Behavior; Introduction to the DSM-5-TR; Diagnostic Criteria and Codes; Neurodevelopmental Disorders; Categories of Mental Disorders; (Intellectual Developmental Disorder, Communication Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Specific Learning Disorder, Motor Disorders, and Tic Disorders); Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders; Bipolar and Related Disorders; Depressive Disorders; Anxiety Disorders; Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders; Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders; Dissociative Disorders; Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders; Feeding and Eating Disorders; Elimination Disorders; Sleep-Wake Disorders; Sexual Dysfunctions; Gender Dysphoria; Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders; Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders; Neurocognitive Disorders; Personality Disorders; and Paraphilic Disorders.
