Perception and Causes of Psychopathology
Prepare a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you discuss the causes of psychopathology.
Address the following:
Provide
a brief overview of how culture is a factor in determining the
expression of psychopathology.Discuss at least one culture-bound
psychological syndrome.
Examine the causes of psychopathology using
either biopsychosocial or the diathesis-stress models.In order to
receive full credit for this objective you will need to demonstrate how
each element of the model causes or exacerbates psychological disorders.
For example, how do the elements of biology, psychology, and sociology
(biopsychosocial model) interact to create and/or make psychological
disorders worse? Addressing each of these in regards to how they
independently create and/or make the psychological disorder worse does
not fulfill this requirement. The diathesis-stress model is, in general,
easier to explain for most disorders you will encounter for this
course. When using the diathesis-stress model you must include a
discussion relative to resilience in order to receive full credit for
this objective.
Explain the changes in society’s perception of
psychopathology as a function of a historical period. Include an example
of a recent psychological diagnosis that social pressure has
modified/deleted.
Cite at least one separate peer-reviewed source for each of the above objectives.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines
