About this document
Defining Abnormality and Functioning by Lizzie Platt is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses definitions of abnormality and deviations from social norms. It examines how social norms can vary between cultures and over time, and may ignore biological factors for behaviors. It also evaluates weaknesses in defining abnormality as a failure to function adequately or a subjective evaluation, as what seems abnormal to one may not be to another or may be adaptive.
