What is a “Disorder”?
• A disorder is a harmful dysfunction of a
naturally selected mechanism.
Wakefield, J.C. (1999). Evolutionary Versus Prototype Analysis of the Concept of
Disorder. Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 108 (3), pp. 374-399.
• It must cause a dysfunction in a trait every
human develops and create impairment in a
major life activity.
