2.Personal distress

3.Atypical or not culturally expected behavior

         Social norms and their possible misuse

The Biological Tradition

•Hippocrates: Mental illness caused by brain pathology, head trauma, heredity

•Galen: Humeral theory of disorders (blood, black bile, yellow bile, phlegm)

•Pasteur’s germ theory of disease: Mental illness can be caused by a bacterial infection (syphilis)

•John P. Grey: Insanity is always due to physical causes, and patients who have a mental illness should be treated as physically ill.

•Focus on diagnosis: Search for biological causes and classification

•Therapy: Undiscovered psychopathology – reduced interest in treating patients

•Insulin shock therapy: Electroconvulsive therapy

ECT and Chemical drugs

•Structure of the mind (id, ego, superego)

•Defense mechanisms (coping styles in response to particular situations, e.g., displacement, denial, projection, rationalization, sublimation)

•Humanistic Theory

          Self-actualizing – we need the freedom to grow in order to reach           our highest potential

     Maslow (hierarchy of needs)-Person-centered therapy (Rogers) – unconditional positive regard and empathy

•Behaviorist Theory

       Little Albert (Watson)
