'From the perspective of a practitioner and professor, this book contributes very well to the teaching of abnormal psychology by integrating the biological perspectives.
‘This is a very comprehensive text which provides detailed, yet accessible, coverage of abnormal psychology. The author has a clear command of the subject matter, yet also demonstrates a critical appreciation of some of the more contentious issues within mental health. The written content is superbly accompanied by innovative diagrams and illustrations which greatly enhance the pedagogical features of this book’ Dr Philip John Tyson University of Wales, Newport
Excellent book that explains abnormal psychology really well
This provides a clear and account of biological perspective of abnormal behaviour. A very useful resources for students to gain in-depth knowledge and understanding
I used this text for a previous Abnormal Psychology course. I like how easy it is to understand, and I use the accompanying materials like the slides and test banks to help with the course.
This book offers up to date information on research into mental health issues in a 'user friendly' style. It is well set out and is easy to follow It also recommends supplementary texts and has a great companion website offering valuable resources for both student and tutor alike.
Easy to read, for academic purposes the structure is not as clear as it could be. However a great supplemental text for students.
Excellent resource for this area.
A well written and solid text book applicable for many students on health programmes. The text however is too focussed on clinical and biological perspectives for the modules I deliver.
This book builds on the concepts the students have learnt about in their first year. Well laid out text
Good combination of clinical and biological information - accessible for Undergraduates
We are going to recommend this title to supplement out existing text
This is an outstanding text and a must read for both lecturer and student. It is up to date and detailed, exploring abnormal psychology in great depth. I would strongly recommend this book to psychology students.
Good layout and information , possibly too low a level for some MSc students though appropriate for someone wishing to brush up on background. Useful in that it considers the biological perspective in tandem with the disorders
