A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concept of normality and abnormality

The concept of normality and abnormality deals with how behaviour, thoughts, and emotions are judged as typical or atypical, healthy or disturbed. For examinations, you must master the main ways psychologists define normality and abnormality, because different definitions can lead to different conclusions about the same behaviour.
