Abnormal Psychology can broadly be defined as the application of the principles of psychology to the study of mental disorders including research into the causes and treatment of psychopathologies. The central and most controversial aspect of abnormal psychology is the issue surrounding the meaning of the term abnormal. In other words what precisely constitutes an abnormal psychological state. There is no single and conclusive view of what is abnormal and each theoretical approach is determined by underlying assumptions about the meaning of this term.
