Abnormal Psychology, First Canadian Edition with MyPsychLab

Butcher's Abnormal Psychology, has long been considered one of the most authoritative and comprehensive texts in the field. This edition presents the most current and in-depth information about biological influences on the entire spectrum of behavioural abnormalities. It also includes multicultural studies and phenomena, which offer an integrative view. Extensive case studies of individuals with various disorders are included throughout; some are brief excerpts, others are detailed analyses. These cases bring disorders to life, and remind students of the human factor that is so intimately a part of the subject matter of this text.

The abundance of research discoveries surfacing in the field today has broadened our understanding of psychopathology, improving upon therapies and treatments practiced just a decade ago. The goal of this book is, and always has been, to present to students these exciting discoveries and to offer the most thoroughly researched and up-to-date analyses of psychopathology.

The First Canadian edition of Abnormal Psychology has been thoroughly updated with hundreds of new research references, many of those citing first class Canadian research, to accurately reflect the ever-changing field, the prevalence of disorders and the treatment programs offered in Canada today.
