CHAPTER 2 THE ELEMENTS OF MALADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR: THEORY TREATMENT RESEARCH
THE ROLE OF THEORY IN ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY SIX THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES INFLUENTIAL TODAY • Biological • Psychodynamic • Behavioral • Cognitive • Humanistic-Existential • Community-Cultural
THE BIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE • GENETIC FACTORS • THE NERVOUS SYSTEM • THE BRAIN • THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM • THE NEUROSCIENCE REVOLUTION • NEUROPHARMACOLOGY • PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY • INTEGRATION OF BIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
GENETIC FACTORS • Chromosomal anomalies • Karotype • Genes • The Human Genome Project • DNA and penetrance • Heritability • Penetrance • Behavior Genetics • Pedigree Studies
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM • CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM • Brain • Spinal cord • PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM • Somatic System • Autonomic System • THE NEURON • Axons • Dendrites • Neurotransmitters
THE NEUROSCIENCE REVOLUTION • Neuroanatomy • Neuropathology • Neurochemistry • Neuropharmacology • Neuropsychology
BRAIN IMAGING • COMPUTERIZED AXIAL TOMOGRAPHY (CT) • MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) • MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY (MRS) • SINGLE PHOTON EMISSION COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (SPECT) • POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PT)
THE PSYCHODYNAMIC PERSPECTIVE – SIGMUND FREUD • THEORY OF PSYCHOANALYSIS • THEORY OF PERSONALITY • STAGES OF PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT • THE PSYCHIC APPARATUS • ANXIETY • DEFENSE MECHANISMS
RECENT APPROACHES TO PSYCHOANALYSIS • Carl Jung • Alfred Adler • Erik Erikson • Ego Psychology • Object Relations • Self-psychology
THE BEHAVAIORAL PERSPECTIVE • CLASSICAL CONDITIONING • Unconditioned stimulus-unconditioned response • Conditioned stimulus-conditioned response • OPERANT CONDITINING • Positive & negative reinforcers • Punishment • Schedules of reinforcement • SOCIAL LEARNING THEORIES • Modeling & role playing
THE COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVE • MALADAPTIVE THOUGHTS ARE THE CAUSE OF MALADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR • AARON BECK • The goal of therapy is to help clients restructure their thinking. • Albert Ellis • Rational-emotive therapy helps clients question irrational beliefs and modify unrealistic thoughts.
THE HUMANISTIC-EXISTENTIAL PERSPECTIVE • THE HUMANISTIC VIEW • People are striving toward self-actualization. • Carol Rogers • THE EXISTENTIAL VIEW • Emphasis on self-determination, choice, and individual responsibility. • Viktor Frankl
THE COMMUNITY-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE • Belief that maladaptive behavior results from inability to cope effectively with stress. • Focus on attempts to reduce maladaptive behaviors through preventive measures. • Causation theory • Social selection theory • Social roles • Labeling
AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH • Each perspective is valuable to understanding maladaptive behavior. • Different perspectives are more appropriate under differing conditions. • Environmental and individual factors often interact to produce maladaptive behavior.
