Abnormality - Definitions

Deviation from social norms                                  Culture differences are an issue for all of these
Failure to function adequately                              Time is an issue
Deviation from ideal mental health

Evaluation

- Rosenhan did the experiment with the schizophrenics makes it obvious that it's very difficult to define abnormality and it is all relative. 
- Era dependent.
- Culture differences.
