Student Feedback "It uses people and cases you can relate to in real life. While some researches present an abstract information which is difficult to assimilate,this book book gives a vivid life story of issues that are clear and easy to understand and digest. I mostly find myself nodding after reading the "research Hot Topics" and Examining the Evidence" sections." ~E. Sorkpor, Hunter College "This book details the mental disorders that exist from childhood to senior citizens. I have a better understanding of how these disorders occur and what to expect when it occurs in members of my own family." ~ M. Lewis, Hunter College "I thought it was a very thorough introduction to abnormal psychology. I feel prepared to continue my studies but also find that I've already used the knowledge I've learned in my day-to-day life several times when different topics of conversation. I would describe the text as clear and interesting." ~K. Szostek, Hunter College "Engaging, clear, concise, interesting, and easy to read. It was truly the only textbook that I have ever looked forward to opening." ~ E.

Rahan Ali - Penn State-University Park "Authors did a good job.""Nice updating of the latest information, good examples, nice approach to case summaries."

Reseña del editor
Real Science. Real Life. Presents a balanced Scientist - Practitioner - Educator approach to understanding Abnormal Psychology. Several features distinguish this text from other textbooks currently available. First, the base of abnormal psychology rests on knowledge generated through scientific studies and clinical practice. This text emphasizes this rich blend throughout. Second, it is increasingly clear that most forms of adult abnormal behavior either begin in childhood or have childhood precursors. This text highlights what is known about the developmental trajectory of each condition. Such a focus is instrumental in helping students gain some insight into the etiology of maladaptive conditions. Third, Beidel integrates biological findings with findings from social and behavioral sciences to foster the perspective that abnormal behavior is complex and subject to many different forces, and highlight how these variables often interact in a reciprocal fashion. Fourth, scientific findings with respect to race and gender are discussed with respect to each condition. This includes a discussion of prevalence, differences in symptom manifestation, and any known etiological differences. Importantly, an effort is made to "bring to life" the nature of these conditions by providing vivid clinical descriptions. In addition to short descriptions used liberally throughout each chapter, a fully integrated case study is presented at the end of each chapter, again illustrating the interplay of biological, psychosocial and emotional factors. MyPsychLab contains study tools such as flashcards, self tests, videos, as well as Speaking Out: DSM in Context which ties real patient interview videos to specific content from the DSM-IV, helping students understand how the DSM-IV criteria applies to real people experiencing disorders. MyPsychLab is available at www.mypsychlab.com.
