Engaging and informative

I was lucky enough to study abnormal psychology with the author, Dr. Holmes, at the University of Kansas. Like his classes, his textbook is fascinating, easy to follow, and to the point. Every principle is backed up with evidence and examples. This is one college textbook I intend to keep.

Wonderful book!

This book is incredibly informative and also fun to read. The presentation of the material is very clear and concise, and the case studies are fascinating. I enjoyed reading the textbook so much that I actually read ahead, which I can't say happens in very many of my other classes! This is a terrific book and well worth the price.
