Abnormal Psychology portrays the human face of various psychological conditions, helping students to understand that abnormal behavior is complex and subject to many different forces. This leading-edge author team, consisting of four active researchers, clinicians, and educators, take a scientist-practitioner approach emphasizing the rich blend of both the science and practice of abnormal psychology throughout the text.

Biological findings are integrated with findings from social and behavioral sciences, highlighting the complexity of abnormal behavior and how it is often influenced by a wide range of variables.
