Inhaltsangabe:
Since 1948, this distinguished textbook has been considered the most comprehensive in its field. While this academic foundation remains in the 12th edition, new topics, fresh insights, and sharper focus on research in psychopathology have emerged.
The author team offers students the most thorough explanation of psychopathology possible, and in doing so they create a learning experience that invokes thought, increases awareness, and takes students to levels of understanding that other books do not offer. The 12th edition of this book features a striking new design, updated feature boxes and case studies, the most current research findings, and an esteemed new author, Jill Hooley of Harvard University. Jill Hooley is an experienced psychopathology researcher and Director of Clinical Psychology at Harvard. She brings a fresh perspective and an exceptional background in clinical training and research, particularly in schizophrenia, to the 12th edition of this book.

Since 1948, this distinguished textbook has been considered the most comprehensive in its field. Building on this strong foundation, the 12th edition introduces new topics, fresh insights, and sharper focus on research in psychopathology.
The goal of Abnormal Psychology is, and always has been, to present to students exciting discoveries and the most thorough explanation of psychopathology possible. To keep this momentum going, authors Jim Butcher (University of Minnesota) and Susan Mineka (Northwestern University) welcome Jill Hooley of Harvard University, to the author team. Jill Hooley is an experienced psychopathology researcher and Director of Clinical Psychology at Harvard. Her area of expertise is schizophrenia.
The 12th edition has been revised and enhanced in a number of ways, including a separate chapter on Eating Disorders; a separate chapter on Health Problems and Behavior; a new schizophrenia chapter; expanded coverage and explanation of research methodology; expanded coverage of mental retardation; new case studies and feature boxes, and much more.
