Key subject areas

The book moves from research approaches and historical views to causal perspectives, clinical assessment and diagnosis. Its scope includes stress and health, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive conditions, mood disorders and suicide, somatic and dissociative conditions, eating disorders, personality disorders and substance-related concerns. Later chapters address sexual dysfunctions and gender dysphoria, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, neurocognitive conditions, disorders of childhood and adolescence, psychological treatment, and societal and legal issues. Case material and current research features help connect terminology to the people and contexts involved in the study of mental health.

This coverage can support a structured survey course by giving learners a framework for comparing research, diagnostic concepts and treatment approaches across areas of psychopathology. Students can use the chapter sequence to organize class notes and check which topics are included in their syllabus. Since the field and diagnostic references change, course assignments and current professional standards should take precedence over an older textbook edition. This is educational material, not a tool for diagnosing or treating an individual.

Who may find it useful

Undergraduate psychology students, instructors and readers reviewing abnormal psychology concepts may find the eighteenth edition useful when its contents align with their reading list. Confirm that your course accepts this U.S. edition and that it is distinct from the Global Edition or the newer title that replaced it.
