Name of resource: psyCast - definitions of abnormality
Submitted by: Aidan Sammons
Specification details: AQA-A
Other specifications: Edexcel, AQA-B?
Guidance: MP3 podcast.  Duration 6mins 35sec.  A brief overview of four approaches to
defining abnormality & their associated problems.  Includes:

Statistical deviation
Violation of social norms
Failure to function adequately
Deviation from ideal mental health

The idea is that students can download these to their iPods/MP3 players and 
revise on the move.  They've proven very popular so far and the kids seem to
like them.  Whether or not they actually help is currently anyone's guess.
