The medical and psychological models of the anomaly Missing cited works With the term "medical model" of anomaly we mean the biological model, what the individual is born with both with reference to the brain and also to genetics. The biological explanation would suggest that the individual's mental disorder is a cause of biological malfunction. They see that environmental factors are of little importance when taking the organic approach. The reasons for abnormal behavior could range from a possible genetic predisposition or an imbalance in brain chemistry. The two main treatments suggested by the biological model for abnormal behavior are medications and somatic intervention. To delve deeper into the biological model we need to look at the human brain and also genetics. Since the brain controls all aspects of human functioning, it is not difficult to conclude that damage or disruption of normal brain function and activity could lead to observable mental disorders. From a genetic perspective, to prove that a specific condition is hereditary, researchers must demonstrate that it cannot be caused by environmental factors. To provide evidence that abnormal behavior is inherited through genes, we need to look at correlational and twin studies. A "psychological model" of anomaly could be the cognitive model. Cognitive models are based on the assumption that conscious thought mediates an individual's emotional state or behavior in response to UN
