When writing a 12 marker about abnormality approaches what are you supposed to include? For example if I was talking about the cognitive approach do I talk about CBT or not?

Posted from TSR Mobile

Personally if approaches come up I am going to put something like (imagining they ask for cognitive approach) 'Also an effective treatment has come of the basis of this approach, for example CBT which was found to be no less effective than biological treatments like drugs etc'

Do we need to know this? :s-smilie:

I'm learning everything in minimal detail which I know isn't great but I've never been taught about ECT in detail?
Also, this has probably already been asked but do we need 6 evaluation points for AO2 or is 4 elaborated points enough for 6 marks?

Just learn these points for AO1 and evaluate 4 points with two strengths and two weaknesses for AO2. Don't write about 6 in the exam as you will run out of time and it is best to have the 4 and PEEL.

has anyone learnt milgram's justifications? we were taught it but I'm not sure where'd i use it or if we need it at all.. and also where do i/ do i need to learn the zimbardo prison study?? :confused:

Eg. what Milgram did: caused pain and anguish
Justification: he couldn't have predicted to what extreme lengths they'd go to

another example: tarnished the name of psychology
justification: prompted stricter ethical guidelines and he made a huge contribution so was worth breaking ethical guidelines. won an award.

i already have ethical and methodological issues for ao2 of the study.

Do we need to know Milgram and Aches variations or just the original experiment?

We don't need to know variations but it can be used as evaluations for independent behavior

what is the study for independent behaviour?

ive got one study on Greskevicius et al and he did a study on dress sense (saying women more likely to conform to dress to please men and men more independent as dress to stand out.

Kohlberg et al found those with moral principles were more likely to resist and show independent behaviour.

sorry its a bit vauge

The justifications can be used as good evaluation points so I'd learn a few, but I wouldn't go out of my way to learn more than 3. Zimbardo's study can be used for Obedience, but you don't really HAVE to learn it (I'm not; if needs be I'll just mention it briefly when evaluating Milgram). Milgram's main study (and any variations if you can remember them) is the main one you need.

do we need to know about freud for the psychodyamic approach and if so what on earth do we need to know? I do not recall learning about this at all, however the id, ego and superego seems to ring a bell... has anyone got any idea?

many thanks :smile:

We didn't learn any of this :/ We only learnt reasons why people resist conformity/obedience

-Time consuming so patients may not follow through with it all
+It actually tackles the root of the problem. Can be compared with SD
-Dream analysis: people's recall of dreams is not likely to be accurate
-Repressed, painful memories may be uncovered. Can cause further harm
-The therapy doesn't work for all disorders
