Synopsis

Designed for those who want to learn about abnormal psychology in a more personal context, Abnormality focuses on the theme "what you can and cannot change" to offer a provocative approach to evaluating therapies, both for yourself and others. Incorporating both scientific research (the relation of genetics to personality, the use of drug therapy) and practical applications (how to choose a therapist, how to overcome public-speaking anxiety)... Abnormality offers a balanced and entertaining introduction to the field.
