Use the link on the Blog to Models of Abnormality. Work through each of the models looking at the activities and weblinks as you are prompted to. Produce a one sheet handout, or brief power point presentation, summarising each model. You need to include theory evidence and evaluation but not treatment. Bring your handout or presentation to your next lesson. I will choose the best example of each from your group and circulate it to everyone else. The winning person will win a small (edible) prize! So it’s worth doing well!
