Washington, DC-. American Psychiatric Press, Inc.). It provides a user-friendly definition for quick referral. For a more extensive listing of terms, see the original source.  \nabnormality In psychological terms, any mental, emotional, or behavioral activity that deviates from culturally or scientifically accepted norms.  \nabreaction Emotional release or discharge after recalling a painful experience that has been repressed because it was not consciously tolerable (see conscious). A therapeutic effect sometimes occurs through partial or repeated discharge of the painful affect. See also systematic desensitization.  \nacademic disorders In DSM-IV, this is a major group of infancy, childhood, and adolescence disorders that includes reading disorder, mathematics disorder, and disorder of written expression.  \nacculturation difficulty A problem in adapting to or finding an appropriate way to adapt to a different culture or environment. The problem is not based on any coexisting mental disorder.  \nacting out Expressions of unconscious emotional conflicts or feelings in actions rather than words. The person is not consciously aware of the meaning of such acts (see conscious). Acting out may be harmful or, in controlled situations, therapeutic (e.g., children's play therapy).  \nadaptation Fitting one's behavior to meet the needs of one's environment, which often involves a modification of impulses, emotions, or attitudes. adjustment Often transitory functional alteration or accommodation by which one can better adapt oneself to the immediate environment and to one's inner self See also adaptation.  \nadjustment disorder An imprecise term referring to emotional or behavioral symptoms that develop in response to an identifiable stressor. The symptoms, which may include anxiety, depressed mood, and disturbance of conduct, are clinically significant in that the distress exceeds what would be expected under the circumstances, or significant impairment in social or occupational functioning is produced. Duration of symptoms tends to be self-limited, not persisting more than 6 months after termination of the stressor or its consequences. Sometimes the disorder is designated as \"acute\" if duration is 6 months or less, and as \"persistent\" or \"chronic\" if symptoms endure beyond 6 months.  \naffect Behavior that expresses a subjectively experienced feeling state (emotion); affect is responsive to changing emotional states, whereas mood refers to a pervasive and sustained emotion. Common affects are euphoria, anger, and sadness. Some types of affect disturbance are:  \nblunted Severe reduction in the intensity of affective expression.  \nflat Absence or near absence of any signs of affective expression such as a monotonous voice and an immobile face.  \ninappropriate Discordance of voice and movements with the content of th","cbCaiboISaDBKjG8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiboISaDBKjG8","pdf",89664,33,"English","# Key Terms and Acronyms\n## Mental health terminology and definitions\n## Behavioral and emotional concepts","[{\"question\":\"What is this glossary for?\",\"answer\":\"It provides brief definitions of key terms, acronyms, and law-related references used in psychosocial and mental health contexts for quick reference.\"},{\"question\":\"Which main sources are used to compile the glossary?\",\"answer\":\"It includes excerpts from the American Psychiatric Glossary (7th edition) and other compiled materials related to children’s and adolescents’ mental health, prepared and circulated by U.S. health agencies.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the definitions presented in the glossary?\",\"answer\":\"Terms are provided with short, user-friendly definitions intended for quick referral, and the text points readers to the original sources for more extensive listings.\"}]","GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS, ACRONYMS, AND LAWS | PDF",1790588419,83]
