In class (and in the text) we reviewed several models of abnormality. Each focuses on certain
processes or aspects of functioning (i.e., cognitions, emotions, behavior, development, etc.). Spend
some time reviewing these theories and considering your own ideas, and describe YOUR theory for
abnormal behavior. Which elements of these theories would you include as factors relevant to an
explanation of mental illness? Be thorough and well-reasoned, and cite sources where necessary.
