AND ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR
X. ARON CHRISTY M.Sc (N).,
PROFESSOR,
SRM Trichy college of Nursing Trichy.
2. CONCEPTS OF NORMAL AND ABNORMAL
BEHAVIOR
Psychiatry as evident from the above is concerned with
abnormal behavior in its broadest sense, but defining the
concepts of normal and abnormal behavior as such has been
found to be difficult. These concepts are much under the
influence of socio-cultural factors. Several models have
been put forward in order to explain the concept of normal
and abnormal behavior
3. Medical Model
Medical model considers organic pathology as the definite cause for
mental disorder. According to this model, abnormal people are the
ones who have disturbances in thought, perception and psychomotor
activities. The normal are the ones who are free from these
disturbances.
4. Statistical Model
It involves the analysis of responses on a test or a questionnaire or
observations of some particular behavioral variables. The degree of deviation
from the standard norms arrived at statistically, characterizes the degree of
abnormality.
Statistically, normal mental health falls within two standard deviations (SDs)
of the normal distribution curve.
5. Socio-cultural Model
The beliefs, norms, taboos and values of a society have to be accepted and
adopted by individuals. Breaking any of these would be considered as
abnormal.
Normalcy is defined in context with social norms prescribed by the culture.
Thus, cultural background has to be taken into account when distinguishing
between normal and abnormal behavior.
6. Behavior Model
Behavior that is adaptive, is normal, maladaptive is abnormal. Abnormal
behavior is a set of faulty behaviors acquired through learning.
8. The purpose of Standards of Psychiatric and Mental

identification of those actual or potential health problems that are
within the scope of nursing practice.

interventions delineating nursing actions unique to each patient's needs.

way to foster adequate self-care and physical and mental well being of patients.

therapeutic environment in collaboration with the patient and other health
care providers.
