Exploring Abnormal Psychology

What Reviewers Are Saying About Neale - Davison - Haaga Exploring Abnormal Psychology Length/Brevity I could use this text for its brevity without sacrificing the scientific or intellectual rigor so highly valued in my courses...;The authors have creatively reached an optimum balance of theory, research, and clinical example. In paring down the material covered, the authors have separated the wheat from the chaff. -Sandra T. Sigmon, University of Maine Cases The use of the extended case history, introduced at the beginning and revisited at the end [of chapters] is a feature that should appeal to students...;Human interest material always catches the attention of the reader and makes the material easier to understand. Revisiting the case at the end of a chapter helps bring closure to the topic. -Linda E. Flickinger, St. Clair County. Community College Interim Summaries What I liked most about [the] DNH text is the interim summary. It presents one of the most significant innovations in textbook writing that I have seen in abnormal texts. I love it!...;the interim summaries are visionary. -Sandra T. Sigmon, University of Maine Theory/Research The present text does a particularly nice job of presenting theories of abnormal psychology in a manner that my students should find easy to understand. -Michael Vasey, Ohio State University Multiculturalism The manuscript includes multicultural issues appropriately and these references do not appear to be merely "stuck in"-they are well integrated. -Linda E. Flickinger, St. Clair County Community College Overall I enjoyed this manuscript. I found myself reading it more closely than I had intended. The writing style is very engaging. The treatment of theory, research, and case materials is balanced. I especially liked the case presentations, and found them both interesting and sufficiently informative to illustrate the principles they were intended to explain. -Andrew Dickson, University of Southern MississippiNeale, John M. is the author of 'Exploring Abnormal Psychology' with ISBN 9780471596738 and ISBN 0471596736.
