Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This exciting new version was created specifically for those professors who were drawn to the approach the authors introduced in their longer text, Abnormal Psychology: An Integrative Approach, but wanted a bit less detail. In this briefer version, you'll find - in approximately 550 pages - a consistent organizational structure that makes the material easy to learn, fascinating real-life cases integrated into the flow of each chapter, a mix of clinical and scientific approaches, a conversational writing style, and a variety of new built-in study aids designed to make the briefer version easier to use. Throughout the briefer version -as in their groundbreaking original text - the authors provide students with an integration of research on the biological, psychological, cultural, and social aspects of abnormal behavior and its treatment. To achieve this streamlined version, the authors worked with users and non-users alike who suggested how to collapse chapters and simplify the presentation.
