Summary AQA A-Level Psychology: Psychopathology Full Topic Notes (A – Clear AO1 & AO3 Split)

What’s included: Definitions of abnormality (statistical infrequency, deviation from social norms, etc.) Phobias, depression, and OCD – behavioural, emotional, and cognitive characteristics Explanations of each disorder: Behavioural explanation of phobias Cognitive explanation of depression Biological explanation of OCD Treatments: Systematic desensitisation, flooding CBT for depression SSRIs for OCD Evaluation points (AO3) for every theory and treatment Exam-focused notes designed for 16-mark essays Typed and colour-coded for easy revision Perfect for: Active recall & essay planning Condensing textbook info into clear points Building strong 16-marker chains of reasoning I created these notes from AQA-approved textbooks and teacher lesson content, and they helped me feel confident going into the exams. Ideal for students aiming for A/A* and wanting high-quality, structured revision material.
