- The 5 D's of Disordered
- 1) Deviance: Different to the norm/ odd not criminal
- Violation of the social consensus of proper mental functioning
- We expect people to do some things and not do others.
- Different from criminal behaviour
- It's a spectrum of conditions. some deviance is acceptable (high end), other end is not (lower end) of functioning.
- High end: Intelligence, Selflessness Low end: Aggression, Greed Arrogance
- How do we differentiate between deviant and eccentric?
- 2) Distress/ Disproportionate
- If deviance is socially defined, Distress is personal
- Emotional reaction to expression of behaviour or symptoms of the illness.
- Person's response to their symptoms are not always distressing but are sometimes Disproptionate
- E.g. Manic stage in bipolar disorder; honour in being chosen by 'voices' in SZ.
- Different people distress differently but can be culturally accepted. e.g. Toddleresque
- Must be disproportionate- little is fine. Too much is not.
- 3) Dysfunctional:are they looking after themselves e.g. clean etc.
- If deviance considers dysfunctional mind then dysfunctionalconsiders their ability o care for themselves
- Unable to do: 1. Symptoms interfere with daily functioning 2. Can't care for themselves properly 3. Participate in ordinary social relationships/gatherings 4. Work effectively or optimally (most of potential
- More intelligent you are, more you mask disorder
- 4) Danger (to others, themselves e.g. self harm, suicidal, not eating...
- 5) Duration: (3-6 months)
- If less than 3 months it's just behaviour. If longer than 3 months it can turn into a diagnosis.
- All disorders denote that symptoms must be present of specific length of time.
- Forgiving and allowance. Behavioural expression/ response to variety of stimuli can be odd. Experience, tolerance, perception and disposition all attenuate a response.
- Forgive a person for acting 'odd' for short period of time but don't if it's long lasting
- 6 months to be SZ
- 1) Deviance: Different to the norm/ odd not criminal
