Abnormal Psychology: Clinical & Scientific Perspectives

by Barclay Martin Charles Lyons

The United States spends more money on mental disorders than on any other health condition, with heart disease and cancer trailing far behind. As important as that statistic is, it is not the main reason that it is incumbent upon us to understand more about these conditions. We all have friends or family members who have battled with mental health in some way. It is therefore important to learn what we can about mental disorders, including how they are identified, how they develop, how they can be treated, and, ultimately, how they can be prevented. <p><p> As in the previous editions of Abnormal Psychology: Clinical and Scientific Perspectives, this sixth edition was prepared with the goal of producing a readable, useful, inexpensive referenced resource that could serve as a primary text for students in undergraduate abnormal psychology courses. It provides a thorough (and critical) overview of the official system for classifying mental disorders - the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) - describing the many ways in which the DSM-5 differs from its predecessors. As this text reviews both past and present treatment approaches and their supporting research, it also encourages students to think critically and to evaluate the strength of evidence.

Abnormal Psychology: Myths of 'Crazy' (Second Edition)

by Drew Curtis Leslie Kelley

Abnormal Psychology: Myths of ‘Crazy’ guides readers in the deconstruction of these myths by means of a process designed to help formulate a sound approach to abnormality and a thorough understanding of various disorders through the lens of the DSM-5. Students will learn the importance of intentionally directing attention toward the humanity of the individuals who have various disorders, in order to develop more accurate perceptions of these individuals. The goal is to reflect on the humanity within abnormality rather than reducing people to a label and stripping them of their humanity. Readers will be confronted with the idea that abnormality is not exemplified by “crazies” in a straight-jacket, void of coherent words, but rather by human persons, who are often suffering, feeling immense pain, or who have impaired functioning in their life, which may even include being void of coherent words.

Abstract Algebra

by David S. Dummit Richard M. Foote

This revision of Dummit and Foote's widely acclaimed introduction to abstract algebra helps students experience the power and beauty that develops from the rich interplay between different areas of mathematics. The book carefully develops the theory of different algebraic structures, beginning from basic definitions to some in-depth results, using numerous examples and exercises to aid the student's understanding. With this approach, students gain an appreciation for how mathematical structures and their interplay lead to powerful results and insights in a number of different settings. <P><P> The text is designed for a full-year introduction to abstract algebra at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level, but contains substantially more material than would normally be covered in one year. Portions of the book may also be used for various one-semester topics courses in advanced algebra, each of which would provide a solid background for a follow-up course delving more deeply into one of many possible areas: algebraic number theory, algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, representation theory, Lie groups, etc.

Abstract Algebra: A First Course

by Dan Saracino

This book is intended for use in a junior-senior level course in abstract algebra. The Second Edition of this text maintains the clear exposition, logical organization, and accessible breadth of coverage that have been its hallmarks. It plunges directly into algebraic structures and incorporates a large number of examples to clarify abstract concepts as they arise. Proofs of theorems do more than just prove the stated results; Saracino examines them so readers gain a better impression of where the proofs come from and why they proceed as they do. Most of the exercises range from easy to moderately difficult and ask for understanding of ideas rather than flashes of insight. The new edition introduces five new sections on field extensions and Galois theory, increasing its versatility by making it appropriate for a two-semester as well as a one-semester course.
