Discussion: Factors That Influence the Development of
Psychopathology
In many realms of medicine, objective diagnoses can be made:
A clavicula is broken. An infection is present. TSH levels meet
the diagnostic criteria for hypothyroidism. Psychiatry, on the
other hand, deals with psychological phenomena and behaviors.
Can these, too, be “defined objectively and by scientific criteria
(Gergen, 1985), or are they social constructions?” (Sadock et
al., 2015).
Thanks to myriad advances during recent decades, we know that
psychopathology is caused by many interacting factors.
Theoretical and clinical contributions to the field have come
from the neural sciences, genetics, psychology, and social -
cultural sciences. How do these factors impact the expression,
classification, diagnosis, and prevalence of psychopathology,
and why might it be important for a nurse practitioner to take a
multidimensional, integrative approach?
Review this week’s Learning Resources, considering the many
interacting factors that contribute to the development of
psychopathology.
Consider how theoretical perspective on psychopathology
impacts the work of the PMHNP.
Explain the biological (genetic and neuroscientific);
psychological (behavioral and cognitive processes, emotional,
developmental); and social, cultural, and interpersonal factors
that influence the development of psychopathology.
explaining the implications of why, as an advanced practice
nurse, it is important to adopt a multidimensional, integrative
model of psychopathology.
