Synopsis

This innovative and cutting-edge survey of abnormal psychology will connect with students and hold their attention like few other books. Its overall organization and rich pedagogical program reflect an emphasis on prevention, a focus on the developmental roots of disorders, earlier discussion of the disorders themselves, use of various causal models with a special emphasis on the diathesis-stress model, exploration and critical analysis of controversies in the field, and the connections between different disorders, causal factors, treatment methods, and outcomes. A wealth of case studies, a focus on diversity, and a well-integrated system of in-text learning aids bring text material to life and reinforce critical analysis and learning. This authoritative text draws from the best of new and classic scholarship, from extensive consultation with leading researchers in the field, and from the authors' many years of teaching, research, and clinical experience.
