My Highlights Prevalence refers to the proportion of a population with a disorder (i.e., all current cases of the
disorder)
1-2: What Is Normal?(Sep. 9)
Common descriptions of normality and psychopathology often focus on (1)statistical deviance, the
infrequency of certain emotions, cognitions, and/or behaviors; (2)sociocultural norms, the beliefs and 1-4a: Rates of Disorders in Infancy, Childhood, and Adolescence(Sep. 9)

undesirable or unacceptable; and (3)mental health perspectives, theoretical or clinically based
notions of distress and dysfunction.

It is more useful to think of these models as providing different and complementary perspectives on

From a statistical deviance perspective, a child who displays too much or too little of any age-
expected behavior (such as dependency or assertiveness) might have a disorder.
2-1a: Dimensional and Categorical Models(Sep. 10)
Dimensional models also are referred to as continuous or quantitative.
1-2b: Sociocultural Norms(Sep. 9)
From a sociocultural norm perspective, children who fail to conform to age-related, gender-specific,
or culture-relevant expectations might be viewed as challenging, struggling, or disordered. 2-1a: Dimensional and Categorical Models(Sep. 10)
Categorical models of psychopathology, in contrast, emphasize discrete and qualitative differences
in individual patterns of emotion, cognition, and behavior.
1-2c: Mental Health Perspectives(Sep. 9)
From a mental health perspective, a child’s psychological well-being is the key consideration.
2-1a: Dimensional and Categorical Models(Sep. 10)
Categorical models are sometimes referred to as discontinuous or qualitative.
1-2c: Mental Health Perspectives(Sep. 9)
Using this criterion, children who have a negative quality of life, who function poorly, or who exhibit
certain kinds of symptoms might have a disorder. 2-1a: Dimensional and Categorical Models(Sep. 10)
Dimensional models of psychopathology emphasize the ways in which typical feelings, thoughts, and
behaviors gradually become more serious problems, which then may intensify and become clinically

Psychodynamic models have historically focused on several themes, including (1)the impact of Within the humanistic framework, psychopathology is usually linked to interference with or
unconscious processes on typical and atypical personality development; (2)conflicts among suppression of the child’s natural tendencies to develop an integrated (or whole) sense of self, with
processes and structures of the mind (e.g., id, ego, and superego); (3)the stages of development, valued abilities and talents.
