Causes of Psychopathology in Both Children and Families.
This paper briefly addresses two forms of psychopathology in children and families. These forms of psychopathology are those created by external and internal factors. Those that have a psychopathological condition caused by an internal factor are similar to those that manifest a physiological disease. Those individuals that manifest a form of psychopathology triggered by external factors are best perceived as having a behavioral or mental condition that was generated through environmental conditions, such as post- traumatic stress syndrome or attention deficit disorder. 3 pgs.
