Ron Comer's brief text opens the doors of this inherently fascinating field in an eye-opening, provocative, and yet, human way--taking a subject so familiar to students from movies, television, and fiction, and showing the real drama, the real science, and the real stakes for patients and their loved ones. Drawing on his experiences in the classroom and as a practicing therapist, Comer offers balanced, integrated coverage of theories, research, disorders and treatment, feeding off of students' curiosities while confronting misconceptions about this easily misunderstood field.

This is a comprehensive introduction to the field, presenting all major models of abnormality. It features exceptional pedagogy, intriguing case studies and a stimulating art program to facilitate learning. The seventh edition features increased coverage of culture and neuroscience integrated throughout, plus a revised photo and art program.

Fully updated for DSM-5, this exciting revision complements the abnormal psychology course by providing 17 case histories based on the authors' clinical experiences. Each case study goes beyond DSM-5 diagnosis to describe the individual's history and symptoms, a theoretical discussion of treatment, a specific treatment plan, the actual treatment conducted, and assessment questions for students. The casebook also provides three "You Decide" cases -- written without diagnosis or treatment, so students can identify disorders and suggest appropriate therapies. This new edition adds assessment questions to the end of each case and also features three brand new cases: hoarding, somatic symptom disorder, and gender dysphoria.
