Answer:

One criticism of the medical model of psychological abnormality is that it fails to recognize how concepts of abnormality vary across history and across cultures.

Explanation:

  • The medical model does not take into consideration the fact that the reasons for psychological abnormality are different in different cultures.
  • This model specifically points out at the rigid scientific terms involved in psychological abnormality which are not at all flexible in nature. This attribute of the medical model reduces its applicability.
