Abnormal behavior in nonhuman primates is oftentimes prematurely blamed on certain conditions, in the case of captive non-human primates, readily so on their husbandry, largely ignoring the underlying pathophysiological processes in the brain. Each life history shapes an individual's predisposition to develop or resist the development of a psychopathological disorder, which manifests itself in abnormal behavior when triggered by certain situations or conditions. In order to sustainably address the symptoms of psychopathologies, therapeutic approaches must be based on a structured, comprehensive diagnostic procedure, including behavioral and functional analyses, research into life history, and personality assessment..
非人类灵长类动物的异常行为往往被过早地归咎于某些特定条件，对于圈养的非人类灵长类动物，这种情况更容易归咎于其饲养方式，而很大程度上忽略了大脑中的潜在病理生理过程。个体的生活史塑造了其易患或抵抗精神病理障碍发展的倾向，当受到某些情况或条件的触发时，这种倾向会表现为异常行为。为了可持续地解决精神病理学症状，治疗方法必须基于结构化的、全面的诊断程序，包括行为和功能分析、生活史研究和人格评估。
