Abnormal Psychology The Problem Of Maladaptive Behavior

About the Book

This highly acclaimed and widely adopted text, now in its Eleventh Edition, continues to combine with great skill the fundamental principles, clinical research, and pedagogy to provide a clear understanding of the subject.
Using numerous illustrative cases and a wealth of clinical examples, this new edition of the international best seller gives a profound analysis of the difficulties faced by people because of their own personality problems, interactions with others, and the situations and challenges they confront in life. The authors emphasize the increasing focus of researchers and clinicians on these interactions, with growing records of evidence that suggest their impact and importance on several conditions-particularly anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. The book incorporates relevant examples from recent events reported in the media to enhance student interest and to emphasize how real the problems are.
