Abnormal Psychology brings both the science and the personal aspects of the discipline to life with a focus on evidence-based practice and emerging research. Authors Thomas Oltmanns and Robert Emery offer an overview of abnormal psychology that focuses not on “them,” but on all of us. The authors cover methods and treatment in context to help you understand the biological, psychological and social perspectives on abnormal psychology.
The 9th Edition has been updated to integrate coverage of the DSM-5. References to hundreds of new studies represent the latest “clues” psychological scientists have unearthed while trying to solve the many mysteries of abnormal psychology. The incorporation of compelling contemporary topics and fresh coverage of classic issues helps the text keep pace as the discipline continues to evolve.
