Models of Abnormality

As evidenced in Chapter 2 of the textbook, contemporary thinking about psychological disorders includes a broad variety of models or paradigms. The list of models used in framing psychological disorders includes the following: biological, psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic-existential, and sociocultural. Each model highlights different factors in the development of abnormal behavior and suggests different avenues for the treatment of psychological disorders. In this week’s Assignment, you will closely examine these models and compare and contrast

two

of your own choosing.

  • Examine the textbook chapter on models of abnormality and identify two models you find most intriguing.
  • Review the abnormal behavior of Johanne or Alberto you explored in this week’s Discussion.

In a  paper, provide a brief description in your own words of each of the

two

models you chose and discuss why these

two

models appeal to you. Using the experiences of Johann or Alberto with abnormal behavior explored in this week’s Discussion, compare and contrast the

two

models (describe similarities and differences) in terms of how each might explain the development of the abnormal behavior described. Compare and contrast the approaches to treatment that each model might suggest.
