Description
For undergraduate courses in Abnormal Psychology
It's not about them, it's about all of us.
Oltmanns and Emery bring both the science and the personal aspects of abnormal psychology to life with a focus on evidence-based practice and emerging research. By emphasizing that abnormal psychology is not about "them," it's about all of us. Using extensive case studies, they present the most cutting edge information on abnormal psychology by covering methods and treatment in context. Organized around the way students learn, this ground breaking text integrates the biological, psychological, and social perspectives in one concurrent story.
With a focus on critical thinking, Oltmanns and Emery prepare students for the DSM-V and beyond by addressing key issues and concepts that will remain, even as diagnostic criteria change.
