8.1: Introduction to Psychological Disorders A) Think about what is considered normal and abnormal. In the space provided in this assignment, write your own definition of the terms. Label them #1, #2, & #3: 1. Normal, → fitting into the standards given, “blending in with the crowd” 2. Abnormal → outside the box and out of societal normalities 3. mental disorder → abnormal difference in the way one thinks and perceives the world that may possibly inflict harm on one or another B) Watch 8.1 Daily Video 1 in AP Classroom. Take notes. ○ Pay particular attention to the discussion of what qualifies an abnormality as a disorder (around the 6:16 mark). ○ In the space provided in this assignment, label this response "#4" and distinguish between the way the psychological world and the legal world view (and label) mental disorders. #4 The difference between the way the psychological world views mental disorders compared to the legal world is that the legal world tends to use mental disorders with a negative connotation and use legal definitions while the psychological perspective emphasizes the importance of learning, stress, self-defeating thinking patterns, and environmental factors. C) Now that you have learned a bit about "abnormality" think about what it means to be abnormal. Perhaps you or someone you know has a diagnosis that might be found in the DSM-V. There are an incredibly wide variety of reactions to the idea of abnormal, dysfunction, disability, etc.. Probably as many reactions as there are people. ○ With that in mind, watch this Speech by Frank Stephens ○ Links to an external site. ○ . ○ In the space provided in this assignment, label this response "#5" and write your reaction to this message by Mr. Stephens. #5 My reaction to it was very touching and very inspiring not letting Down syndrome affect his life but instead embracing it and spreading the issue of not isolation but educating. I now have a new outlook on life.
