    Learning Objectives
    • Differentiate uni- and multi-dimensional models of abnormality.
    • Describe how the biological model explains mental illness.
    • Describe how psychological perspectives explain mental illness.
    • Describe how the sociocultural model explains mental illness.

    In Chapter 2, we will discuss three models of abnormal behavior to include the biological, psychological, and sociocultural models. Each is unique in its own right and no one model can account for all aspects of abnormality. Hence, a multi-dimensional and not a uni-dimensional model will be advocated for.
