Synopsis

This sixth edition covers recent issues and trends in the field of abnormal psychology. The authors, whose research focus on mood disorders and cognitive approaches to psychopathology, have updated the text by including the most current references available and highlighting new areas of research and theory within the discipline. There is treatment of the major theoretical perspectives, including psychodynamic, humanistic-existential, behavioural, and neuroscience. Each chapter contains two to three boxes that focus either on clinical cases, current research, or contemporary issues, and each disorder chapter opens with a case vignette. In this new edition, the multi-perspective approach is enhanced, whereby the presentation of theoretical perspectives reflects current practices. There are new separate chapters on anxiety disorders, somatoform and dissociative disorders, and biological therapy. New sections include reworked material on mental retardation and autism and a new section on ageing in the organic brain disorders chapter.
