【书摘与插画】
The study of abnormal psychology is the study of people, like the young woman in the Extraordinary People feature, who suffer mental, emotional, and often physical pain, often referred to as psychopathology. Sometimes the experiences of people with psychopathology are as unusual as those this young woman describes. Sometimes, however, people with psychopathology have experiences that are familiar to many of us but more extreme, as Kay Redfi eld Jamison (1995, p. 110) describes in An Unquiet Mind .
In this book, we explore the lives of people with troubling psychological symptoms to understand how they think, what they feel, and how they behave. We investigate what is known about the causes of these symptoms and the appropriate treatments for them. The purpose of this book is not only to provide you with information, facts and fi gures, theories, and research but also to help you understand the experience of people with psychological symptoms. The good news is that, thanks to an explosion of research in the past few decades, effective biological and psychological treatments are available for many of the mental health problems we discuss.
DEFINING ABNORMALITY
In popular culture, there are a lot of words for people and behaviors that seem abnormal: around the bend, bananas, barmy, batty, berserk , bonkers , cracked, crazy, cuckoo, daft , delirious , demented , deranged , dingy , erratic , flaky , flipped out, freaked out, fruity, insane , kooky, lunatic , mad , mad as a March hare, mad as a hatter, maniacal , mental , moonstruck, nuts, nutty, nutty as a fruitcake, of unsound mind, out of one’s mind, out of one’s tree, out to lunch, potty, psycho , screw loose, screwball, screwy, silly , touched , unbalanced , unglued, unhinged, unzipped, wacky. People talk as if they have an intuitive sense of what abnormal behavior is. Let’s explore some of the ways abnormality has been defined.
Mental Illness
A common belief is that behaviors, thoughts, or feelings can be viewed as pathological or abnormal if they are symptoms of a mental illness . This implies that a disease process, much like hypertension or diabetes, is present. For example, when many people say that an individual “has schizophrenia”(which is characterized by unreal perceptions and severely irrational thinking), they imply that he or she has a disease that should show up on some sort of biological test, just as hypertension shows up when a person’s blood pressure is taken.
To date, however, no biological test is available to diagnose any of the types of abnormality we discuss in this book (Hyman, 2010). This is not just because we do not yet have the right biological tests. Modern conceptualizations of mental disorders view them not as singular diseases with a common pathology that can be identifi ed in all people with the disorder. Rather, mental health experts view mental disorders as collections of problems in thinking or cognition, in emotional responding or regulation, and in social behavior (Hyman, 2010; Insel et al., 2010; Sanislow et al., 2011). Thus, for example, a person diagnosed with schizophrenia has a collection of problems in rational thinking and in responding emotionally and behaviorally in everyday life, and it is this collection of problems that we label schizophrenia. It is still possible, and in the case of schizophrenia likely, that biological factors are associated with these problems in thinking, feeling, and behaving. But it is unlikely that a singular disease process underlies the symptoms we call schizophrenia.
Cultural Norms
Consider these behaviors:
1. A man driving a nail through his hand
2. A woman refusing to eat for several days
3. A man barking like a dog and crawling on the floor on his hands and knees
4. A woman building a shrine to her dead husband in her living room and leaving food and gifts for him at the altar
Do you think these behaviors are abnormal? You may reply, “It depends.” Several of these behaviors are accepted in certain circumstances. In many religious traditions, for example, refusing to eat for a period of time, or fasting, is a common ritual of cleansing and penitence. You might expect that some of the other behaviors listed, such as driving a nail through one’s hand or barking like a dog, are abnormal in all circumstances, yet even these behaviors are accepted in certain situations. In Mexico, some Christians have themselves nailed to crosses on Good Friday to commemorate the crucifi xion of Jesus. Among the Yoruba of Africa, traditional healers act like dogs during healing rituals (Murphy, 1976). Thus, the context, or circumstances surrounding a behavior, infl uences whether the behavior is viewed as abnormal.
Cultural norms play a large role in defining abnormality. A good example is the behaviors people are expected to display when someone they love dies. In cultures dominated by Shinto and Buddhist religions, it is customary to build altars to honor dead loved ones, to offer them food and gifts, and to speak with them as if they were in the room (Stroebe, Gergen, Gergen, & Stroebe, 1992). In cultures dominated by Christian and Jewish religions, such practices would potentially be considered quite abnormal.
Cultures have strong norms for what is considered acceptable behavior for men versus women, and these gender-role expectations also influence the labeling of behaviors as normal or abnormal (Addis, 2008). In many cultures, men who display sadness or anxiety or who choose to stay home to raise their children while their wives work are at risk of being labeled abnormal, while women who are aggressive or who don’t want to have children are at risk of being labeled abnormal.
