Lesson 3 - Criteria and classification systems of psychological adjustment and maladjustment 1
, General criteria for psychological
adjustment
~ Criteria for mental health refer to standards or characteristics against human
behavior, which are evaluated in order to determine adjustment or maladjustment or
to make a specific psychodiagnosis
1. Physical functioning
Well-adjusted individuals are physically active, healthy and fit
This gives them enough energy and stamina to cope effectively with stress and
other physical demands
Such people experience normal physical desires and have the freedom to
control and satisfy them
They are realistically aware of their somatic and physical functioning and are
able and willing to improve on possible unhealthy physical habits and behaviors
2. Cognitive functioning
Cognitive abilities are appropriately and optimally used, without undue influence
from the emotions
Well-adjusted people experience their world objectively and rationally, while also
being disciplined yet lenient in thinking and reasoning
Their cognitive appraisals, assessments and judgments of themselves, others
and situations are realistic and optimistic, giving them insight into the meaning of
life and the solution of problems
