In order to diagnose and treat abnormal behavior, we have to start with clear definitions of what’s meant by abnormal and normal. Criteria must be worked out for distinguishing one from the other in actual clinical cases. The word abnormal implies a deviation from some clearly defined norm. In the case of physical illness, the boundary lines between normality and pathology are often clearly depicted by medical science, making it easier to diagnose. On the psychological level, however, we have no ideal model to use as a base of comparison, nothing to help us distinguish mental health from mental disorder. The problem of defining abnormal behavior via establishing just what is meant by normal behavior has proved extremely difficult. However, as chapter 5 outlines, several criteria have been proposed. One norm described in detail in your text is personal adjustment. An individual who was able to deal with problems effectively without serious anxiety or unhappiness or more serious symptoms is said to be well adjusted. Personal adjustment as a norm has several serious limitations though. For example, it makes no reference to the individual’ s role in the group. How’re we going to classify, for example, the untypical politician or businessperson who engages in unethical practices. Either might be a successful, happy, well-adjusted individual. Obviously, the welfare of the group, as well as that of the individual, must be considered, which brings me to the next approach.
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.
23. What problem concerning abnormal behavior does the instructor discuss?
24. Why does the instructor mention physical illness?
25. What will the instructor probably discuss next?

选项 A、Another means of measuring normal behavior.
B、Why some politicians aren’ t well adjusted.
C、How an individual’ s behavior is influenced by therapy.
D、Problems often encountered by psychologists.

答案 A

解析 推断题。根据several criteria have been proposed.One norm described in detail in your text is personal adjustment.和Personal adjustment as a norm has several serious limitations though.For example,it makes no reference to the individual’s role in the group.可知,提出来的界定标准之一“个人适应”有很严重的局限性,没有涉及集体中的个人角色。故可知接下来要讨论衡量正常行为的其他方法。因此,正确答案为A。
