  1. 1. Abnormal Psychology

    This accessible textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the nature, assessment, causes, and treatment of psychological disorders, integrating historical and contemporary perspectives. It explains how clinicians define and classify abnormal behavior, reviews major categories of disorders (including anxiety, mood, psychotic, personality, developmental, and neurocognitive conditions), and examines biological, psychological, and sociocultural contributions to psychopathology. Emphasizing empirical research and case examples, the book also surveys therapeutic approaches, prevention and public-policy issues, and the ways culture, ethics, and stigma affect diagnosis and care.
