Vulnerability to Psychopathology: A Biosocial Model

Rating:
Summary: Book Review
Review: Zuckerman's latest work is truly a valuable component to understanding a variety of disorders through a diathesis-stress model. Zuckerman provides the reader with up-to-date prevalence figures and etiological theories for the disorders covered in the book. For those who are interested in biological factors related to dysfunction, Zuckerman devotes a large portion of the text to covering these factors. I read this book last semester as part of a graduate course in Psychopathology and feel that it was an excellent choice on the part of my professor to assign the book as part of the class readings.
