Defining Disorders
There is no “normal” person per se
Psychological Disorders are defined as
“Harmful dysfunctions.” They need to be
judged atypical, maladaptive, disturbing and
unjustifiable.
The medical model is a way of
understanding disorders that includes the
notion that disorders are diagnosable and
“curable” through therapy.
