From the IB
Introduction
The focus of this perspective is the interaction between the physiological and psychological factors that contribute to behaviour. Changes in behaviour can arise from an interaction of dispositional and environmental factors. Research has frequently, but not exclusively, used the experimental method. Key issues that are relevant to the biological perspective include criticisms that it often involves a reductionist approach and that behaviour exhibited by non-human animals is not always relevant to humans. In this unit students will evaluate the relevance of this perspective to modern psychology.
Objectives of the Unit:
Describe and evaluate the cultural context and development, the conceptual framework, the methodology, and the application of the biomedical model.
Describe and evaluate theories and empirical studies within this perspective.
Explain how cultural, ethical, gender, and methodological considerations affect the interpretation of behaviour from a biological perspective.
Compare theories, empirical studies and the conceptual framework of this model with the other perspectives.
Identify and explain the strengths and limitations of biological explanations of behaviour.
Explain the extent to which free will and determinism are integral in this perspective.
Explain and evaluate claims that correlates exist between physiological and psychological behaviour.
Discuss controversies surrounding a reductionist approach, as adopted by many biological psychologists

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
-Pink Floyd
 
No aspect of psychology so captures students' imaginations as dysfunctional psychology. What makes us normal? What causes a person to move outside the realm of normalcy. What does insanity mean? We will explore some of the most common disorders as well as the various treatments available.
