Behavior exists on a continuum and abnormal

Reference no: EM13502667

The DSM-IV-TR represents a categorical model of abnormality. Some psychologists have suggested that a dimensional model (where behavior exists on a continuum and "abnormal" is simply an extreme form of normal behaviors) may be more accurate. Do you support the categorical approach or the dimensional? Why? Which model (categorical or dimensional) would be of greatest use to clinicians? What about researchers?
