. 8- Abnormal Psychology: What is Abnormal Psychology? The definition of the word abnormal is simple enough: deviating from the norm. However, applying this to psychology poses a complex problem: what is normal? Whose norm? For what age? For what culture? Some would simply classify what is quot;goodquot; as normal and what is quot;badquot; as abnormal, but this is a vague and narrow definition and brings up many of the same questions for the definition of quot;goodquot; as does the definition for quot;normalquot;. There are many more ways of determining a more objective reference point.
