Abnormal Psychology (Third Edition)
by Deborah C. Beidel Cynthia M. Bulik Melinda A. StanleyThis leading-edge author team, consisting of three active researchers, clinicians, and educators, take a scientist-practitioner approach emphasizing the rich blend of both the science and practice of abnormal psychology throughout the text. The developmental trajectory of each condition is discussed where appropriate and scientific findings with respect to race and gender are incorporated into discussions about each condition. Biological findings are integrated with findings from social and behavioral sciences, highlighting the complexity of abnormal behavior and how it is often influenced by a wide range of variables. The authors encourage students to look at psychological disorders along a continuum and analyze disorders in terms of whether the individual's behavior creates distress or impairs daily functioning. 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. The 3rd edition includes coverage of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), with updated text references and examples throughout. MyPsychLab is an integral part of the Beidel / Bulik / Stanley program. Key learning applications include MyPsychLab video series with new virtual case studies.
Abnormal Psychology and Life: A Dimensional Approach
by Christopher A. Kearney Timothy J. TrullChris Kearney and Tim Trull's ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY AND LIFE: A DIMENSIONAL APPROACH provides students with a concise, contemporary, science-based view of psychopathology that emphasizes the individual first and the disorder second. Through consistent pedagogy featuring clinical cases and real first-person narratives, the text illuminates our understanding that abnormal behavior--rather than being either present or absent--exists in everyone to some degree on a continuum from normal to pathological. By highlighting this widely accepted dimensional view--which places the behavior of an individual at the forefront of clinical assessment, prevention, definition, and treatment--the text's goal is to encourage students to become intelligent consumers of mental health information. With its emphasis on assessment and treatment as well as prevention, the book gives students the tools necessary to understand the precursors of abnormal behavior, overcome the stigma associated with it, and identify the real people classified as exhibiting it.

Abnormal Psychology: Clinical & Scientific Perspectives
by Barclay Martin Charles LyonsThe 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 KelleyAbnormal 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.
