Definitions of Abnormality

You need to be able to describe and apply three definitions of abnormality, and evaluate them including explaining how they are limited by culture. They are:

Deviation from Social Norms (DSN) - click here for presentation
Failure to Function Adequately (FFA) - click here from presentation
Deviation from Ideal Mental Health (DIMH) - click here from presentation

Essay question:
"Describe and evaluate three definitions of abnormality" 12 marks AO1 + 12 marks AO2
Now overdue if you haven't already handed it in!
This should be longer than a standard homework essay, taking around a side of A4 (if you handwrite) or 300 words to outline (with examples) and then discuss the strengths and limitations of each of the three definitions above.
