It is necessary to distinguish the apparent normality of the paragnost from the perceived abnormality of the psychiatrically ill. Normality can be conceived, inter alia, along statistical, sociological and psychological frameworks. A practical conceptualization involves a functional definition with a sociocultural base: the normal person is able to cope adequately at intrapsychic, interpersonal, familial, occupational and leisure levels. Conversely, the psychiatrically ill person does not cope at at least one of these levels, often resulting in behavior perceived as abnormal within his culture.
