Different theoretical approaches and empirical studies of causes, symptoms, and treatment of abnormal patterns of behavior are at the core of this class. We discuss the problems and advantages of creating a classification scheme for abnormal behavior including the major diagnostic categories and review of the more common patterns of abnormal behavior. We investigate how such disorders arise from subtle interactions between organic,psychological predispositions and social classifications.
