Abnormal Psychology: The Problem of Maladaptive Behavior

A textbook for a beginning course. Continues from the previous edition (no date noted) to thread the concepts of vulnerability and resilience throughout as unifying themes. The pedagogical tools include case studies; first-person accounts; and detailed reviews of research techniques, methods, and findings. The ninth edition brings the examples of research and clinical practice up to date, and reorganizes material both within and between chapters. Instructor materials are also available. Includes a glossary without pronunciation. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
