Document Summary
The 4 ds clinicians use the four ds to broadly de ne abnormality: deviance, distress, dysfunction, and danger. Distress refers to negative feeling related to thoughts and behaviour: behaviours presented such as sadness, anxiety and despair, there are exceptions and a person who is distress-free is not necessarily psychologically healthy. Bipolar patients in manic phases are extremely elated and not at all in distress. Patients with antisocial personality disorder are also known to feel no distress/ remorse when causing harm to other people. People can be tall or short, but there are a variety of heights within the spectrum as well. Criticisms in the dsm-5 categories in the dsm: psychologists must continue to critique whether or not dsm classi cations are justi able. Dsm-5 & the categorical classi cation model dsm-5 relies too heavily on a categorical classi cation model. Sunday, march 26, 2017: discrete categories, in addition to being potentially unreliable, also have negative implication for treatment.
