  1. Agenda – Monday, April 7th • Psychological Disorders • Overview • Perspectives • DSM-V • Example • Begin project • Homework: Reading Quiz  TUESDAY • AP COUNTDOWN: 28 regular days, 19 school days

  2. Psychological Disorders • BEHAVIOR MUST BE CONSISTENT AND/OR REPEATED • Someone’s behaviors, thoughts, and/or feelings must be… • 1.) Deviant • 2.) Distressful • 3.) Dysfunctional

  3. Perspectives • Psychodynamic • Disorders arise from childhood conflicts or unconscious thoughts • Examples • Most people who suffer from DID had extremely abusive childhoods • People with anxiety have failed to repress past experiences with stimuli

  4. Perspectives • Humanistic • Disorders arise from a failure to strive towards one’s full potential • Being out of touch with one’s true feelings • Examples • People who suffer from depression are unable to get out of their low on their own

  5. Perspectives • Cognitive • People suffer from disorders because their train of thought is irrational, dysfunctional, inappropriate • Examples • Most personality disorders originate because people view the world and certain situations in drastically different lights

  6. Perspectives • Sociocultural • Disorders arise from a dysfunctional society and home life • Examples • Why do so many homeless people suffer from disorders? (keep in mind, there are many ways to answers this question)

  7. Perspectives • Biological (Biomedical) • Disorders come from genetic inheritances, organic problems, or chemical imbalances • Examples • People who suffer from depression have a lack of serotonin production within their brain • People with antisocial personality disorder have a malfunctioning amygdala

  8. Perspectives • Behavioral • People have disorders because certain behaviors and thoughts have been reinforced, punished, or observed over many years • Examples • Someone with PTSD would have been continually punished by the loud noises and threatening stimuli around them in a war-like situation

  9. Perspectives • Biopsychosocial • Combination of many different perspectives • Argues that people can have genetic predispositions AND a bad environment AND cognition can play a role in developing a disorder • Examples: • An individual with a genetic predisposition for depression could lose their job and develop the disorder

  10. DSM-V • “The big book of disorders” • Explains symptoms and a person’s background • Does not provide treatment or reasons why a person developed the disorder

  11. Agenda – Tuesday, April 8th • Abnormal Psych Reading Quiz • Work on Fractured Fairy Tales project • Frequently Asked Questions • Work time on laptops • Homework: Project due THURSDAY

  12. FAQS • Which version of the fairy tale can my group use? • Any version, as long as you specify which one and you stay consistent • Where should I save my project? • Google Drive. Always. • Does every group need to present their case study? • Yes, but you can earn extra credit by making it more visually appealing for your classmates • I really need to present it to the class? • Yes. • What if we don’t know the character’s family or medical history? • Use whatever information is available to you from their story. Do not fabricate very important information, but get creative with their thoughts and emotions based on their known behavior

  13. Agenda – Monday, April 14th • Practice FRQ – Abnormal Psych • Begin therapy notes • Homework: • Reading Quiz Tomorrow • Exam #5: Monday, April 21st • AP Test countdown: 14 school days, 21 regular days
