Schizophrenic Disorders Module 32: Dissociative, Schizophrenic and Personality Disorders
Schizophrenia A group of severe disorders characterized by disorganized and delusional thinking, disturbed perceptions, and inappropriate emotions and behaviors. Is not one disorder but a family of disorders Is not “split personality” Occurs in about 1% of the population
Schizophrenic Disorders: Symptoms of Schizophrenia Module 32: Dissociative, Schizophrenic and Personality Disorders
Symptoms of Schizophrenia Symptoms of schizophrenia include: –Delusions (false beliefs) –Hallucinations (false perceptions) –Inappropriate emotions or behaviors
Delusions False beliefs that are symptoms of schizophrenia and other serious psychological disorders. Four major types of delusions: –Grandeur –Persecution –Sin or guilt –Influence

Hallucinations False perceptions that are symptoms of schizophrenia or other serious psychological disorders. Types of hallucinations: –Auditory (hearing voices) –Visual (seeing things) –Tactile (feeling skin sensations) Can also have distorted smell and taste
Inappropriate Emotions/Behaviors Flat affect – showing little or no emotional response Word salad – nonsense talk Waxy flexibility – the person’s arms and legs will remain in place after being moved there
Schizophrenic Disorders: Types of Schizophrenia Module 32: Dissociative, Schizophrenic and Personality Disorders

Catatonic Schizophrenia Characterized by variations in voluntary movement Catatonic excitement – rapid movements with delusions and hallucinations Catatonic stupor – little or no activity, movement, or speech (waxy flexibility)
Disorganized Schizophrenia Characterized by bizarre behavior, delusions, and hallucinations. Very disturbed thought and language (word salad)
Undifferentiated Schizophrenia Symptoms that don’t clearly fit into one of the other types of schizophrenia but still show clear symptoms of schizophrenia
Schizophrenic Disorders: Causes of Schizophrenia Module 32: Dissociative, Schizophrenic and Personality Disorders
Biological Factors - Genetics Schizophrenia tends to run in families. Genetics appears to produce a predisposition (increased likelihood) to develop schizophrenia. Genain Quadruplets
Biological Factors – Brain Structure Brain structure of those with schizophrenia is different than the normal brain Those with schizophrenia have smaller amounts of brain tissue and larger fluid filled spaces. The thalamus is smaller in those with schizophrenia.
Biological Factors – Brain Function The brain of those with schizophrenia operates differently than the normal brain. The frontal lobes show less activity. Those with schizophrenia have a larger number of receptor sites for the neurotransmitter dopamine.
Biological Factors – Prenatal Viruses A viral infection during the middle of pregnancy may increase schizophrenia risk.
Psychological Factors Two main areas: –Stress –Disturbed family –It’s unclear whether these are causes or consequences of schizophrenia.
Personality Disorders Module 32: Dissociative, Schizophrenic and Personality Disorders
Personality Disorders Psychological disorders characterized by rigid and lasting behavior patterns that disrupt social functioning. Divided into three clusters: –Related to anxiety –With odd and eccentric behaviors –With dramatic or impulsive behaviors

Teacher Information Types of Files –This presentation has been saved as a “basic” Powerpoint file. While this file format placed a few limitations on the presentation, it insured the file would be compatible with the many versions of Powerpoint teachers use. To add functionality to the presentation, teachers may want to save the file for their specific version of Powerpoint. Animation –Once again, to insure compatibility with all versions of Powerpoint, none of the slides are animated. To increase student interest, it is suggested teachers animate the slides wherever possible. Adding slides to this presentation –Teachers are encouraged to adapt this presentation to their personal teaching style. To help keep a sense of continuity, blank slides which can be copied and pasted to a specific location in the presentation follow this “Teacher Information” section.
Teacher Information Domain Coding –Just as the textbook is organized around the APA National Standards, these Powerpoints are coded to those same standards. Included at the top of almost every slide is a small stripe, color coded to the APA National Standards. Scientific Inquiry Domain Biopsychology Domain Development and Learning Domain Social Context Domain Cognition Domain Individual Variation Domain Applications of Psychological Science Domain Key Terms and Definitions in Red –To emphasize their importance, all key terms from the text and their definitions are printed in red. To maintain consistency, the definitions on the Powerpoint slides are identical to those in the textbook.
Teacher Information Hyperlink Slides - Immediately after the unit title slide, a page (usually slide #4 or #5) can be found listing all of the module’s subsections. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of these hyperlinks will take the user directly to the beginning of that subsection. This allows teachers quick access to each subsection. Continuity slides - Throughout this presentations there are slides, usually of graphics or tables, that build on one another. These are included for three purposes. By presenting information in small chunks, students will find it easier to process and remember the concepts. By continually changing slides, students will stay interested in the presentation. To facilitate class discussion and critical thinking. Students should be encouraged to think about “what might come next” in the series of slides.
