    Mrs. D, a 74-year-old housewife, was recently discharged from the hospital after her first psychiatric admission. She had been diagnosed with atypical psychosis because she believed her husband had been replaced by an impostor and refused to sleep with or recognize him. At times, she believed her husband was actually her long deceased father. She easily recognized other family members and would misidentify her husband only.

    BSA-2A
    General Psychology: is the study of the mind, along with such aspects of mind as
    perception, cognition, emotion, and behavior.
    Ex. Mrs. D, a 74-year old married housewife, recently discharged from a local hospital after

    her first psychiatric admission, presented to our facility for a second opinion. At the time of
    her admission earlier in the year, she had received the diagnosis of atypical psychosis
    because of her belief that her husband had been replaced by another unrelated man. She
    refused to sleep with the impostor, locked her bedroom and door at night, asked her son for
    a gun, and finally fought with the police when attempts were made to hospitalize her. At
    times she believed her husband was her long deceased father. She easily recognized other
    family members and would misidentify her husband only.
    Uses:
    Comparative Psychology: refers to the scientific study of the behavior, and mental processes of

    non-human animals, especially as these relate to the phylogenetic history, adaptive significance,
    and development of behavior.
    Ex: For example, there is extensive research with animals on attention, categorization, concept
    formation, memory, spatial cognition, and time estimation. Much research in these and other areas is
    related directly or indirectly to behaviors important to survival in natural settings, such as navigation,
    tool use, and numerical competence. Thus, comparative psychology and animal cognition are
    heavily overlapping research categories
