1. The concepts of normality and abnormality. 
Normality 
is an abstract notion, used mainly in psychology in or-
der to define a complex functional and dynamic equilibrium in a totality 
of active interferences and interdependencies with the environment. 
This equilibrium results by the harmonic collaboration between 
different systems in the organism, according to its adaptive resources 
and compensating mechanisms, which varies from an individual to 
another with age. 
If in the adaptive processes the functional reserves are used ratio-
nally and with economy, in the compensating processes the equilibrium 
is maintained with high energetic losses, increasing the loss of functio-
nal reserves, difficult to restore afterwards. 
Compensating 
mechanisms
are 
special 
protective 
body 
mechanisms 
which 
intervene 
when 
excessive 
environmental 
solicitations (too intense, too long) and the organism’s functional reser-
ves are reduced or exhausted, so that the adaptive mechanisms could no 
longer maintain the equilibrium. 
Even if compensating mechanisms can cover for a while the fun-
ctional deficit of the body, giving the illusion of normality, in fact there 


27 
is a disturbance of the functional processes leading to a state of ineffi-
ciency which can mark the beginning of a disease.
