possessed or influenced by devils or some similar force.

18. Kraepelin is credited with creating a system to classify mental disturbances that serve as the basis
for modern classification systems.

19. The belief that mental problems are caused by psychological variables is called psychogenesis.

20. Freud contributed to the field of childhood behavioral disorder by positing that early, unresolved
psychological conflict is the source of emotional problems.

assessment and treatment of behavioral problems.
