My name is Chelsey Van Ness and I will be your lecturer for this course. A little about myself: I am currently in my 2nd year in the USD Clinical Psychology program in pursuit of my Ph.D. I completed my undergrad at Morningside College in Counseling Psychology. I have a lot of different professional interests currently. I am very interested in childhood trauma, sexual assault, neurodevelopmental disorders, resiliency factors, and assessments. I find myself becoming interested and passionate about every new subject I learn throughout my education; therefore, I am guessing my interests will continue to grow and change. I enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking and kayaking, and also enjoy staying active through working out/fitness and sports. I also enjoy spending time reading, listening to a variety of different music, and watching Netflix. I am looking forward to meeting everyone online and learning more about everyone’s interests! One thing to be aware of ASAP is that in order to remain registered in the course, you MUST log in during the first week of the class at minimum.

Abstract: Trait-based theories of personality explain behavior across situations based on a set of broad personality attributes or dimensions. In contrast, recent social-cognitive theories of personality emphasize the importance of context and take a combined nomothetic/idiographic approach to personality. The social-cognitive perspective on personality resembles cognitive-behavioral therapies, which explain behavior in particular situations based on interactions of specific cognitions, mood states, and stimulus conditions. This article considers how contemporary personality theory and research might be integrated into the study of the outcomes and processes associated with cognitive-behavioral therapies. We propose that applying the social-cognitive perspective on personality to the study of how cognitive-behavioral therapies work provides both validation of current theories and promising directions for additional research. We review the research literatures on cognitive theories of psychopathology and cognitive-behavioral treatments to examine how the topic of personality has been addressed in those literatures to date.

The course surveys fundamental issues and problems of people with behavioral, emotional and cognitive disorders. The major classes of mental disorders are reviewed, focusing on the development of serious mental disorders. The course material is interdisciplinary: it examines biological, medical, psychological, social, cultural, and political aspects of mental illness. Students are taught ways to formulate and analyze psychopathology, with the purpose of helping them develop an introductory but integrated understanding of mental disorder and intervention. Course Objectives: It is hoped that each student will: - gain a critical awareness of important theories about the etiology of human psychopathology, - learn all the major categories of mental disorders, - learn basic elements of psychiatric diagnosis, - understand strengths and weaknesses of diagnostic classification, - learn basic principles and processes in the development of psychopathology, and - gain a critical awareness of current social issues affecting people with mental illness.

This is a draft of “Personality theory and psychopathology,” and the copy of record is with Elsevier. (ISBN: 978-0-08-097087-5) LA015039 Personality Theory and Psychopathology Abstract The connection between personality and psychopathology has been studied for centuries. In the current essay, we provide an overview of contemporary research in the field. We begin with a review of trait models of personality and the current psychopathology classification system in use. We discuss the link between normal personality traits and personality disorders and other types of psychopathology and conclude with a discussion of different theoretical perspectives explaining the personality-psychopathology connection. The link between personality and psychopathology has been long-recognized, dating back to ancient Greece and Hippocrates’ discussions of the four humors. The four essential fluids of the body - phlegm, blood, bile, and black bile - were thought to determine temperament. Depending on the dominant humor, one could be phlegmatic, sanguine, choleric, or melancholic, and each type had an accompanying set of attributes. An imbalance in these humors led to symptoms of illness, and therefore temperament was thought to be connected to all disease, physical or mental. Later, in the 19th century, Darwinian-influenced perspectives on the personality-psychopathology link arose. These were evolutionary perspectives, depicting mental illness as a genetically-based character deficiency.

  • Abnormal Psychology: Past and Present
    1-1 CHAPTER :1 Abnormal Psychology: Past and Present CHAPTER SUMMARY Since ancient times, people have tried to explain, treat, and study abnormal behavior. By examining the responses of past societies to such behaviors, we can better understand the roots of our present views and treatments. In addition, a look backward helps us appreciate just how far we have come— how humane our present views are, how impressive our recent discoveries are, and how important our current emphasis on research is. However, as you will read about in this chapter, many problems exist in the field of abnormal psychology today. Chapter 1 begins by defining psychological abnormality and treatment and then explores its history and, later, its current trends. TOPIC OVERVIEW What Is Psychological Abnormality?
