Abnormality and Psychopathology

Deviance ! Different from societal norms ! Relative to culture ! Relative to context/situation ! Examples: o Eating ones own hair; deviant? o Looting, theft; deviant? o Hearing voices, speaking strange words; deviant?

Distress/Discomfort ! “Something feels not right” ! Caution: Not a good criteria; low sensitivity ! Examples: o Senakulo, “Pagpapapako sa Cruz”; Deviant? Distressful? o Burning houses, drowning pets; Deviant? Distressful?

Dysfunction ! Deficits in one or more aspects of life ! Interferes with daily functioning ! Gambling disorder, internet addiction

Danger ! Danger towards self, others, property ! Caution: Most patients with disorders are not violent/destructive

Disease vs. Disorder

Signs vs. Symptoms vs. Syndrome

  • Importance of observing cases of abnormal behavior
  • Developed first biogenic theory suggesting abnormalities of humors
  • Developed one of the first classification systems o Plato argued that care of mentally ill was a family responsibility and influenced the treatment located in retreats ! Medieval Period o Back to supernatural causes o Witchcraft, political accusations of being witch ! Renaissance Period o Rise of asylums, "madhouses“ o First asylum: Bethlehem Hospital in London (Bedlam) o Benjamin Rush: from asylum to human therapy

Southeast Asia and Philippines ! “Amok” o endemic to Southeast Asia o 1893: First recorded info by W. Gilmore Ellis, medical superintendent in Government Asylum of Singapore ! “Latah” o Special case of petit mal seizure o Possible root word of “nanlalata” (body weakness) ! “Mali-mali” o Described in 1910 by Musgrave and Sison ! “ataque de nervios” o Common to Hispanics and colonies ! “Lanti” o Loss of soul due to mental illness

Hospital o 1917: Dr. Elias Domingo = first Filipino psychiatrist o 1928: National Psychopathic Hospital, now known as National Center for Mental Health

Contemporary Perspectives ! Biological/Somatic ! Psychodynamic ! Behaviorist ! Cognitive ! Cognitive-neuroscience ! Humanist-existentialist ! Sociocultural ! Family systems

Behaviorist Perspectives ! Responses are learned ! Symptoms have underlying stimulus ! Even abnormality can be learned

Criticism Against Behaviorist ! Oversimplification o It reduces life to small measurable units of behavior o Ignores deeper workings of the mind ! Determinism o Argues that there is no free will o Argues that whatever we do is due to learning history ! The Issue of "Control" o Suggests that behavioral engineering could be used for totalitarian regime where people are coerced by reinforcement o Control actually refers to predictability and using scientific laws

Cognitive Perspectives ! Faulty schema causes pathology ! Abnormality stems from mental processing ! Cognitive patterns and distortions

Criticisms of Cognitive Perspective ! It is unscientific since theory is based on inferring forces that cannot be observed ! Recognizing that life is not rational may not be enough to produce therapeutic change ! Changing thinking may not be appropriate or right ! Basis of how cognitive therapy works is unknown

Cognitive-Neuroscience ! Puts basis on cognitive perspective ! Brain scan, genetic studies, endocrine system ! Genotype vs. Phenotype

Biopsychosocial Perspective ! “Eclectic approach” ! “Integrationist approach”, “Interactionist” ! Consideration of precipitating, predisposing, and perpetuating factors

Case Study # ! Explain Liona’s case using any of the contemporary perspective ! Give at least one predisposing, precipitating, and perpetuating factors in the situation ! Propose a plan of care for Liona

After having arguments with her family, Liona usually isolated

herself from others and would become preoccupied by her sense of insecurity and dislike of herself. At these times Liona was most likely to experience suicidal thoughts. Specifically, Liona said that she would feel like the world was coming down on her and would then think about suicide by letting herself drown in the pool at school. In fact, 3 months before her intake evaluation, Liona had

made a suicidal gesture by superficially scratching her wrist with a razor blade. Liona had told no one about this incident, and no one had noticed the scratches on her wrist. Two months later, Liona had jumped into the school’s pool during swimming practice. Although she had not thought about drowning herself before getting in the pool, while she was underwater, Liona found that she couldn’t catch her breath. For a moment, Liona thought about just letting herself sink to the bottom to drown and wondered what that would be like. Later, a classmate to whom she confided about her concerns with her boyfriend persuaded her to see the school psychologist. Although Liona had not decided to see the school psychologist on her own, she felt relieved by the opportunity to express the feelings she had been having.

  • Unflinching eyes: great desire for intimacy; infringement on privacy

  • Too little: interviewer not interested or honest

  • Less than 100% desirable (70-90%)

  • Sit at an angle (not head-on) to be able to comfortably look away & break eye contact

  • Body posture should convey receptiveness

  • Slight forward lean

  • Arms relaxed and not folded across chest

  • Facilitation: verbal or nonverbal communication which encourages patient to elaborate - Patient’s last word may be repeated - A questioning look is given - Head nod - “Uh huh.” - A question is asked - Avoiding interruptions or changes in topic

  • Open-ended questions

  • Patient retains freedom in selecting nature and amount of information

  • Closed/direct questions

  • Specify precise information needed

  • Patient less likely to tell own story or bring up new topics

  • Support

  • Verbal & nonverbal expressions that indicate physician’s interest, concern & willingness to help patient

  • Offered after patient has expressed feelings

  • Clarification

  • Response that asks patient for further information & explanation

  • Confrontation

  • Brings patient face-to-face with or calls attention to some aspect of his behavior, appearance or manner that is inconsistent & contradictory

  • Silence

  • Nonverbal communication that may express range of responses from total disinterest to active concern

  • Gives patient chance to explore & express deeper concerns that are less obvious

  • Reflection

  • Active listening technique: requires interviewer to hear, understand, remember, summarize & rephrase

  • Summarizes essential aspects of message of patient through fresh words & simple language

  • Encourages patient to explore and organize ideas and emotions

  • Effects of reflection

  • Communicates understanding

  • Gives patient opportunity to change interviewer’s perception

  • Provides patient with chance to bring up new topics

LEVELS of REFLECTION

  • Emotional levels

  • Factual reflection

  • Surface feeling reflection

  • Underlying feeling reflection

####### FACTUAL REFLECTION

  • Summarizes objective information

  • Demonstrates superficial understanding

  • Encourages patient to continue surveying situation

####### SURFACE FEELING REFLECTION

  • Includes facts and feelings

  • Recognizes emotions at about same intensity as communicated by patient

####### UNDERLYING FEELING REFLECTION

  • Emotions not explicitly stated by patient
  • Moves interaction to deeper level of understanding
  • Essentially an educated guess
  • Patient may not be ready to accept validity even if accurate

####### CASE VIGNETTE

Mr. A is a 55 year old bank manager. He is married with four children. In one of your sessions, he tells you this. “After spending two weeks in the hospital, I don’t know how I’m going to pay our regular household bills, much less all of these medical bills. I knew going into the hospital would cost some money, but I never dreamed it would be this much!” REFLECTIONS

  • Factual reflection: “Having to go to the hospital has put quite a strain on your family budget.”
  • Surface feeling reflection: “Right now you are really worried about your financial health.”
  • Underlying feeling reflection: “As you face all of these bills you are doubting your ability to be a good husband and father.”

####### INTERVIEW TECHNIQUES

  • Interpretation
    • Focuses on interviewer’s insights on underlying cause of patient’s problem - Eg, “You are having trouble because your expectations are too high.”
  • Interpretation
    • Used cautiously until interviewer knows the patient & has established rapport
    • Diminishes discussion of feelings
    • Increases intellectual explanations

JARGON and HUMOR

  • Counterproductive
  • Dehumanizing
  • Confusing form of resistance

####### TRANSFERENCE

  • Displacement of feelings and attitudes from important relationships in the patient’s past to the physician
  • May be positive or negative
  • Patient views physician as all-powerful or ever-caring parental figure
  • Disappointed by any deviation from total availability of physician
  • Patient views physician as harsh, punitive parent or authoritarian who gives orders but does not care about patient’s well-being - React with counter-productiveness (hostility, suspiciousness, competitiveness) COUNTERTRANSFERENCE
  • Transference of the doctor toward the patient
    • Eg, Overly critical, erotic fantasies
  • Negative transference reactions from patient may elicit inappropriately angry responses from physician, rather than an attitude of curiousity or understanding

####### EFFECTIVE LISTENING

  • Waiting patiently through periods of silence or tears
  • Hearing not only what the patient says but what he’s trying to say & what he leaves unsaid
  • Using both ears & eyes to detect confirming or conflicting data in verbal content & affect
