Containing 20 case studies of the most typical disorders, this supplement for an Abnormal Psychology course can also be used as a primary text. Each case study thoroughly covers the etiology, treatment method and outcome of each ``patient''. Current symptoms, developmental patterns, comprehensive and detailed information are included along with concise discussions on the latest research. New information on the frequency and distribution of each disorder has been added. Revised discussions at the end of each case study have also been introduced to reflect changes in the research literature.

This text continues to be one of the most current, authoritative overviews of the theories and research in psychopathology and intervention. Its widely praised scientific clinical approach blends the clinical and empirical/experimental as the authors examine each disorder from multiple perspectives. The text emphasizes different paradigms with a particular emphasis on the diathesis-stress paradigm as necessary for understanding most psychopathologies.
