Great Book for Teachers and Students

Actually I purchased this book for my sister who is a teacher and she told me that she likes the book. VEry well written, Easy to understand for students as well.

Pretty Good

I'm not using this book for a class, just reading it for my own information. It gives a good overview of topics in clinical psychology. It's a little too simplistic to use for a class, I think. I do find it informative and helpful however, and easy to read.
