- Jahoda Deviation from social norms: Limitations
- Cultural Relativism
- Criteria culture-bound.
- Apply to non-western, non-middle-class find a higher incidence of abnormality.
- EG: Individualist, self-actualisation relevant but not for collectivists.
- The Criteria
- We all don't fit all the criteria, all abnormal to some degree.
- Not a clear stage where we are defined as abnormal, how many do we need to be lacking in.
- Mental health and physical health
- Doctors use signs of health to detect physical, can you do this for mental?
- Physical causes easily shown whereas many mental causes are not, normally consequence from life experiences.
- Cannot diagnose mental like physical.
- Cultural Relativism
