Best abnormal psych casebook I've seen

I looked at a number of casebooks for an undergraduate 'Clinical Principles' class I'm teaching in a Psychiatric Rehabilitation program, and this was the best I found by a comfortable margin. Thoughtful, well-written case studies that capture the nuance and complexity of these illnesses, with great therapist's-eye-view commentary for students and new practitioners.
