A comprehensive overview of abnormal psychology, with DSM-5 coverage throughout.

Abnormal Psychology provides a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the primary psychological disorders studied within the discipline. Maintaining a focus on the individuals at the heart of the study of abnormal psychology, authors Jill Hooley, Matthew Nock, and James Butcher employ a bio-psychosocial approach that helps students achieve an understanding of the holistic context in which abnormalities of behaviour occur.
