Abnormal Psychology by David Barlow

Description

Abnormal Psychology by David Barlow

This book offers professors and students a more authentic, personal and scientific picture of what psychological disorders are and how they can be assessed and managed. Barlow and Durand demonstrate that disorders are multiply determined by biological, psychological, social, cultural, familial and political forces. The authors challenge readers to think about how and why people become troubled and what is done to help them. Throughout the book, Barlow and Durand integrate concepts with case examples and citations from the literature to demonstrate the connection between research and practice.
