Essentials of Abnormal Psychology - Tapa dura

"The charts and color presentations of the integrative model are wonderful."

The authors explain abnormal psychology with the integrative approach. The integrative approach helps students understand that psychological disorder has its roots in multiple factors: biological, psychological, cultural, social, familial and even political. Throughout the text, real cases - 95 per cent from the authors' own case files, provide a realistic context for the scientific findings of the book, and ensure that readers never lose sight of the fact that beyond the DSM-IV-TR criteria, the theories and the research are real people.
