Another thing to consider is that the disciplines of any science (and especially psychology) are influenced by the culture in which the discipline is practiced.
For example, what is defined as abnormal in one culture might not be defined that way in another; e.g., having a "vision" in one culture might be classified as hallucinating in another.
I hope this gives you a start.
