Feldman's book does not have certain topics like Juvenile Delinquency, Maladjustment, Criminal and antisocial disorders drug addictions, and a few more.

If i have missed these topics in "Feldman's Book"... Kindly tell me in which chapter i can find these topics?

If any one have notes for these topics kindly share them.

Describe the criteria that can be used to distinguish between "normal" and "abnormal" behavior. What are the different sources of information that you will recommend for clinical diagnosis? (2006)


Can you elaborate these two points, the " criteria " and " sources of information for clinical diagnosis" ?

criteria refers to the point how will you distinguish between normal and abnormal behavior.
1. by statistical definition
2. social norm deviance
3. situational context
4. subjective discomfort
5. inability to function properly
6. mal adaptive behavior
7 and socio cultural perspective (cultural relativity)

there are many methods of clinical diagnosis like
1. interviewing patient
2. asking his family
3. conducting few tests
4. watching him how he behaves in public/work place/school (observing him)
5. DSM IV (R) methods
