Psychology QUESTION #9870
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 has abandoned this dichotomy. The two categories are therefore not clearly distinguishable in terms of definitive origin.
