Summary: | In this article, the Judeo-Christian view of sin is reviewed as well as the psychoanalytic and humanistic views of psychopathology. All three perspectives converge in their assumption of a universally flawed human condition.

Inconsistencies and inherent difficulties are noted in the list oriented phenotypal approach to psychopathology or sin. |
