Medical Approach to Abnormality- Studies
(Szasz)- doesn't take into account social class or environment
Gottesman and Shield- If the first twin has schizophrenia then there is a 50% of the second twin having it in monozygotic twins and only 10% in dizygotic twins
Psychosurgery- Studies
Baer et al- followed 18 people how had cingulotomies for OCD and found better functioning and less depression
Evaluation of the Medical Approach
+ There is a clear treatment for each disorder, doesn't lump it under one term
- Szasz
+ Gottesman and Shield
- Ignores emotional and cognitive factors as well as the influence of traumatic events
Evaluation of Psychosurgery
+ Gives a hope to those where nothing else, e.g drugs or therapy, has worked
+ Modern surgery techniques mean more defined damage and less side effects
- Still a risk of serious side-effects e.g. paralysis, impaired learning and emotional blunting
- There is always the risk that it won't work at all

There are several small things that I will list after this, but overall it works well. It's not overly detailed, but it doesn't need to be really, I think…
I'm happy you enjoyed!
