Psychology QUESTION #9848
Question 1
So-called 'functional' and 'organic' psychoses are:
  • Really both functional in origin
  • Really both organic in origin
  • Clearly differentiated as to origin
  • Not clearly distinguishable✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
Modern neuroscience has found biological correlates for conditions once called purely 'functional'. The DSM no longer uses this dichotomy. The two categories are therefore considered not clearly distinguishable in terms of definitive origin.
