In this briefer version of Durand and Barlow's widely taught text, the authors explain abnormal psychology through their standard-setting integrative approach?the most modern, scientifically valid method for studying the subject. Through this integrative approach, students learn that psychological disorders are rarely caused by a single influence, but rooted in the interaction among multiple factors: biological, psychological, cultural, social, familial, and even political. A conversational writing style, consistent pedagogy, video clips of real clients (located on the accompanying Abnormal Psychology Live 2.5 CD-ROM), and real case profiles?95 percent from the authors' own case files?provide a realistic context for the scientific findings of the book. In addition, these features ensure that readers never lose sight of the fact that real people are beyond the DSM-IV-TR criteria, the theories, and the research. Benefits: NEW! Well-known in their field, the authors bring sophisticated research and clinical experience?including the most recent developments?to every chapter of this text. The new edition places more emphasis on dimensionality/spectrum disorders, following the direction of the forthcoming DSM-V. It is also thoroughly updated with several hundred new references, including coverage on new information on the discovery of the drug D-Cycloserine which helps in treating anxiety disorders (Chapter 4), new findings on depression (Chapter 6), and new information on ADHD and also autism (Chapter 13). A colorful two-page visual overview at the end of each disorder chapter summarizes the causes, development, symptoms, and treatment of each disorder covered in the chapter. A helpful study tool, the overviews also show relevant interactions among various factors to reinforce the integrative approach. NEW! Well-known in their field, the authors bring sophisticated research and clinical experience?including the most recent developments
