IB Psychology HL - Abnormal Psychology Case
Studies Exam Study Guide Solutions


Szasz (1960) - Ans:✔✔-- first argued that mental illness was a myth in an article and later in his

controversial text The Myth of Mental Illness.


- His basic premise is that many psychological disorders should not be categorized as diseases like

physical disorders as they are really "problems in living".


- All of us face dilemmas and struggles but this does not mean that we are mentally ill.


- He was highly critical of these problems being treated as if they were medical problems and he argued

against using diagnostic systems like the DSM because they imply that there is an actual disease.


- Szasz's views remain highly controversial and his central idea that mental illness is a myth has been

dismissed as going too far (Poulsen, 2012).


- However, his ideas still spark debate about how to define normality and abnormality and ensure that

the ethical consequences of diagnosis are not overlooked.


Burr (2002) - Ans:✔✔-Aim: how cultural stereotypes of women from South Asian communities affected

mental health care professionals' explanations for patterns of suicide and depression.

Method: conducted qualitative research using focus groups and individual interviews to determine if

there were cultural stereotypes about South Asian communities.


- Participants were mental health carers from a UK inner city area of relatively high social deprivation. -

Focus group interviews were conducted with a range of mental health care professionals who worked in

both inpatient and outpatient mental health care services.


- In addition, individual interviews were conducted with consultant psychiatrists and general medical

doctors.




Results: Analysis of data from the interviews suggests that health carers held cultural stereotypes.


- The South Asian culture was perceived as repressive, patriarchal (patriarchal = dominated by males)

and inferior to a western cultural ideal.


- Burr contended that these stereotypes have the potential to misdirect diagnosis.


Angel and Thoits (1987) - Ans:✔✔-Aim: to see how cognitive interpretations cary between cultures. They

took as an example under-reporting of in Mexico of certain mental disorders
