Document Summary
See p. 34 figure 2. 2 in textbook for developmental benchmark. *to understand maladaptive behavior, one must view it in relation to what is considered normative* Culture: meaning of behaviors and expression of symptoms varies e. g. , fire setting, e. g. , bereavement, e. g. , gender differences in expression of depression/anxiety, impact varies by disorder less cultural impact on more neurobiological based disorders. Ethnicity and race: effects generally better accounted for by ses and culture. Disability + risk: failure to reach developmental milestones, lack of progress along adaptive developmental trajectories. Diathesis stress model: diathesis: (doesnot=disorder) (vulnerability[biological or not]) Could be biological, contextual, or experience-based: stress: (doesnot=disorder) (challenge that calls on resources) Situation or challenge that calls on resources typically thought of as external, negative events interaction (^ probability of disorder) makes disorder more probable. Could have multiple interacting diatheses and stressors. Under stress, diathesis increases likelihood of disorder. See page ? in textbook for clarification. Organization of behavioral and emotional dysfunction into meaningful groupings.
