What Does It Mean to Have a Psychological Disorder?
Mental health experts define a psychological disorder as “a syndrome characterized by clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior that reflects a dysfunction in the psychological, biological, or development processes underlying mental functioning” (APA, 2013, p. 20).But what does this definition actually mean?
Many behaviors considered abnormal are quite similar to normal behaviors. We all know what it feels like to be depressed, but how is that different from having a major depressive disorder? This chapter will help you understand the distinctions, but because those distinctions can be subtle, we also caution you against “first-year medical student’s disease,” or the sense that you have all the disorders that you are studying.
The study of psychological disorders is called abnormal psychology. It is surprisingly difficult, but necessary, for psychologists to agree on the differences between typical and abnormal behaviors because deciding that an individual’s behaviors and mental processes are abnormal is the first step toward labeling that person with a psychological disorder and providing treatment (see Figure 14.1).

A Continuum from Normal to Psychological Disorder.
Psychological disorders can be understood both categorically, which means that each has its own set of distinct characteristics used for diagnosis, and as part of a continuum from normal behavior to severely disordered behavior. The diagnostic criteria discussed in this chapter guide psychologists in their identification of the types and severity of disorders their patients and clients might have.
NORMAL
MILD
MODERATE
PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER—LESS SEVERE
PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER—MORE SEVERE
Emotions
Good alertness and positive emotional state.
Feeling sad or down temporarily, but not for long.
Feeling sad, but a strong positive experience such as a good grade could lift mood.
Intense sadness most of the day with some trouble concentrating and some loss of appetite.
Extreme sadness all of the time with great trouble concentrating and complete loss of appetite.
Cognitions
“I’m not getting the grades I want this semester, but I’ll keep trying to do my best.”
“I’m struggling at school this semester. I wish I could study better, or I’ll fail.”
“These bad grades really hurt. This may set me back for a while. I’m really worried.”
“I’m so worried about these grades that my stomach hurts. I don’t know what to do.”
“These bad grades just show what a failure I am at everything. There’s no hope; I’m not doing anything today.”
Behaviors
Going to classes and studying for the next round of tests. Talking to professors.
Going to classes with some trouble studying. Less contact with others.
Skipping a few classes and feeling somewhat unmotivated to study. Avoiding contact with professors and classmates.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
