  7. Behaviourist • Mental disorders regarded as sets of learned behaviour • Behaviour acquired through observation of others • Behaviour maintained through operant processes psychlotron.org.uk

  8. Cognitive • Abnormal behaviours assumed to arise from faulty thinking processes • Bentall (2004) presents an account of how psychotic symptoms occur, but rejects the idea that schiz. is a discrete diagnostic entity psychlotron.org.uk

  9. Cognitive • Hallucinations • Misattributed inner speech • Delusions • Attempts to make sense of hallucinatory experiences • Once delusion arises, attentional bias tends to maintain it psychlotron.org.uk

  10. Cognitive • Disorganised thinking & speech • Difficulty distinguishing between thinking and speech • Deficits in STM and semantic memory • Exacerbated by emotional arousal, resulting in ‘vicious circle’ or disorganisation psychlotron.org.uk
