easy to read

was intersting and informative but felt it went into too much history of psychology for me.

Abnormal Psych

Wcellent book just a little too large. Especially useful with a movie regarding the topic of each chapter.

Very good and clear book

This was one of my favorite classes in college and this book was very supplemental to my professor's lectures. The text was very clear and there were really good examples to help get the point across. It was nice because it was very concise and to the point.

A joy to read! Not too technical, but full of useful info!

I liked this text because it presented the information in an unbiased manner. It used a lot of case studies and current events to support the various psychological theories. The CD ROM was extra helpful because it had quizzes over each chapter as well as videos.

The best text book in the field so far

Only after having to read and digest so many boring and endless text books, first medical ones, and then psychological, I can apreciate a good one when I see it. "Abnormal Psychology" is an easy to read, elegantly formated, and very interesting book about the subject. It is not, however, what one might call popular sceince type. Fitting very well for 1st-2nd year students, it will serve as a waem welcome into the world of pathopsychology.
