Publisher's Synopsis
In the second edition of this text on abnormal psychology, David Barlow and V. Mark Durand offer an organizational structure that should make the material easy to learn, 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 Second Edition easy to learn from and easy to use. Throughout the Second Edition, the authors' class-tested integrative approach should help students understand how each disorder is determined by multiple forces: biological, psychological, cultural, social, familial, and environmental.
