Abstract
psychopathy or abnormal psychology is the term used for the study of 'illnesses related to the mind', and so includes the etiology and treatment of schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorders and phobias etc. In general it can be seen to encompass any mentally or behaviorally disordered state in which proper psychological functioning is disordered or interfered with . It is not a simple, clear cut science by any means, as it is still in very experimental stages, with much of that which it encompasses still lying outside proper human understanding. The result of this is that within the field of psychopathy many different perspectives exist, with each approaching the various disorders from very different angles and proposing different etiology and treatment.
