Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology

Summary: "Concise yet substantive, Comer's brief text clearly synthesizes theoretical models, research, clinical experiences, therapies, and controversies within the context of social and cultural influences. Like a good classroom lecture, Fundamentals weaves the main text, case studies, quotations, critical thinking questions, margin notes, cultural and gender differences, and other important elements into a cohesive narrati...ve that keeps students engaged.
