CASEBOOK IN ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY

USING CASES FROM THE AUTHORS' FILES OR FROM CASE FILES OF OTHER WORKING CLINICIANS, "CASEBOOK IN ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY, INTERNATIONAL EDITION" PORTRAYS THE RICH AND ARRESTING NATURE OF DISORDERS MANIFESTED IN REAL PEOPLE. CASES ILLUSTRATE EVERY MAJOR DSM-IV CATEGORY, FOLLOWED BY A THERAPY OUTCOME SECTION THAT TELLS THE 'REST OF THE STORY' OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE CLIENTS. USING AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH, THE AUTHORS EMPHASIZE THE MULTIPLE CAUSES OF DISORDERS AND INCORPORATE DEVELOPMENTAL AND CULTURAL ISSUES IN EACH CASE. COMPLEX CASES ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT A DIAGNOSIS, SO STUDENTS CAN COME UP WITH A DIAGNOSIS ON THEIR OWN. THIS FOURTH EDITION INCLUDES A NEW CASE ON BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER AS WELL AS TWO NEW CASES WITHOUT A DIAGNOSIS.
