Concept information

Preferred term

psychopathology  

Definition(s)

  • Psychopathology is often defined as the presence of mental illness or disease, but as a research endeavor, psychopathology can be understood more broadly to refer to the study of abnormal behavior. Defining behavior as abnormal, such that it might be termed a mental disorder, is an inherently challenging endeavor. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Development; Psychopathology]
