PATHOLOGY

The systematic study of the structure and organization of systems that make some of its variables depart from normality. Originally restricted to health and bodily function, e.g., illness in medicine, it is now extended to include psychological and social processes as well, e.g., speech disturbances, double binds and other communication disorders, families with self-recognized problems, perpetual poverty in society. (Krippendorff)
