Abnormal Psychology: An Introduction

Rating:
Summary: student friendly text for general psych students
Review: This text has received rave reviews from my students. It is reader-friendly, well-organized and up-to-date. The authors have integrated biological, cultural and social, psychological and other aspects in their explanantions. The case studies are well done and on target, simple yet precise. This text works well for a semester course (ours in twelve weeks and I have found that I can adapt it to that period of time). There is enough theory to interest advanced students, and enough basic "criteria/DSM lists" to satisfy the more [cognitively] concrete members of the class.
