Abnormal vs. Maladaptive Behavior

Write a short, 1-2 page essay regarding the central differences between ‘abnormal’ behavior and ‘maladaptive’ behavior. In your paper be sure to describe why this distinction is so important to clinical psychology.

For this assignment, feel free to use personal experiences in the essay (although it is not mandatory). If you choose to conduct outside research rather than using personal experience, be sure to properly cite your sources in APA format.
