Clinical Psychology Orientation
There is a very close relationship between clinical and abnormal psychology and, finally,
psychiatry. In the 1890s, the close relationship between the "understanding" of abnormal
psychology and clinical psychology gave rise to a new field of psychological discipline,
namely medical psychology, meanwhile, medical psychology itself is actually rooted in
biological psychology (biological psychology).
Certain concepts in abnormal psychology are important in the study of maladjustment,
maladjustment is the study of all things related to problems in adjustment, and for certain
reasons including important aspects in the area of thinking. In psychopathology, there is a
hereditary assumption that patients are maladjusted in the sense of mental illness or have a
tendency to lead to certain diseases. This assumption is common in the medical world, which
feels that if a disease can be identified, it can be ascertained that the treatment of the disease
can be carried out. Because in principle certain diseases can be cured by certain appropriate
drugs.
However, after examining each specific type of mental disorder, it turns out that there are
a number of syndromes or patterns of signs and symptoms (symptoms) displayed by the
patient. Thus, a type of psychiatric disorder often and may not display specific signs so the
form of treatment is not specific.
