Abnormal psychology Book

Abnormal Psychology, also called Psychopathology, is a standard course for psychology majors and a popular elective for students of criminal justice, business, education, sociology, and other fields taught at both 2- and 4-year colleges. Balancing biological, psychological, and social and cultural approaches, Barlow and Durand's ground-breaking integrative approach to abnormal psychology is the most modern, scientifically valid method for studying abnormal psychology. V. Mark Durand successfully blend sophisticated research (including new prevention coverage) and an accessible writing style with the most widely recognized method of discussing psychopathology. Going beyond simply describing different schools of thought on psychological disorders, the authors explore the interactions of the various forces that contribute to psychopathology.
