Chapter 3 of Butcher's Abnormal Psychology has too much information for me to adequately summarize in one post. Therefore, I will break it into a few posts. So please bear with me. Of the chapters so far, this chapter was the longest and the least interesting to me. Which is unfortunate, because it's also the chapter that has the highest distribution of points in the upcoming exam.
The main purpose of this chapter is to review the three contemporary viewpoints on treating mental illness - biological, psychological, and social. This post will review the biological causes of mental illness.
