Psychological Disorders: Science, Self, and Society puts a human face on the study of psychological disorders. Authors Jeffrey Nevid, Spencer Rathus and Beverly Greene emphasize the human dimension of the study of psychopathology via the unique “I” feature, which presents first-person narratives of people with psychological disorders, and illustrative case examples. Grounded in an interactionist approach based on the biopsychosocial framework, the text presents the latest scientific research on causal factors and treatments of psychological disorders.

The 12th Edition reflects the latest developments in the field, including a wide range of topics such as internet addiction and links between social media use and body dissatisfaction. Other contemporary topics include potential uses of AI in online therapy, deep brain stimulation in treating severe OCD, effects of discrimination on the mental health of historically marginalized groups, benefits of exercise in combating depression, and the possible role of brain inflammation in schizophrenia.
