    An Integrative Approach To Psychopathology

    Uploaded by

    Akheyla Garcia
    The document discusses an integrated, multi-dimensional approach to psychopathology. It proposes that psychopathology is influenced by multiple biological, physiological, cognitive, emotional, and social factors that interact over time, rather than being caused by a single factor. Genetic factors can increase vulnerability, but environmental stressors are also important. Neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine play roles in several bodily processes and psychopathologies. Learning processes from behavioral and cognitive theories also contribute to understanding psychopathology. Social and cultural factors like socioeconomic status, gender discrimination, and minority discrimination further impact risk.
