Abnormal Psychology: An Integrative Approach - Hardcover

"The cases are well-done, provide a welcome relief to technical reading, and bring disorders to life. They are stories that have impact and thus provide a tool for consolidating memory."

In the second edition of this text on abnormal psychology, David Barlow and V. Mark Durand offer an organizational structure that should make the material easy to learn, real-life cases integrated into the flow of each chapter, a mix of clinical and scientific approaches, a conversational writing style, and a variety of new built-in study aids designed to make the Second Edition easy to learn from and easy to use. Throughout the Second Edition, the authors' class-tested integrative approach should help students understand how each disorder is determined by multiple forces: biological, psychological, cultural, social, familial, and environmental.
