Onset of disorder - ANS Early: before age 21
Late: 21 years and older
Acute: sudden
Insidious: develops over time
Research-practitioner role - ANS Prominent model of training prevalent today in the PhD
clinical/counseling psychology programs.

, Psychopathology - ANS comes from inside the body issue.
Psychological tradition - ANS Pinel: 1745 France

Allyson & Azrin: mid-1960s U.S. mental hospitals; token economy behavioral rx.
Psychoanalytic tradition - ANS Freud: 20th century; psychoanalysis
Behavioral tradition - ANS B.F. Skinner & Pavlov: 20th century; learning-theory based
treatment
Contemporary learning theory - ANS Mark Bouton: cognitive synthesis in learning
Pavlov: when we were born, we quickly learned emotionally to discriminate the difference
between good stimuli and bad stimuli.
Skinner: we learned to "approach" the good stimulus cue learning (S:CS) and "avoid" the
harmful stimulus cue learning (S:CS); the emotional results of our approach/avoidance
behaviors are consequences = S*:UCS (reinforcers).
Without Pavlovian and Skinnerian learning we would not have been able to adapt to this planet.
Biopsychosocial Model of mental illness - ANS Biological, psychological, and social causes are
always interacting; Barlow and Durand's Integrative Approach.
McCullough's Rule of Treatment - ANS The way you define the concept of psychological
disorder (psychopathology) determines the way you treat it.
Causal determinant model of behavior - ANS Person x environment (P X E) will determine our
approach to understanding psychopathology.
