Clinical Psychology: Science, Practice, and Culture: DSM-5 Update

By Andrew M. Pomerantz

Book Overview

"I love this book by Dr. Andrew Pomerantz....He presents alternative perspectives on many issues and by doing so helps readers learn from the dialectic or tension between these perspectives. This text is a great foundation for students who are interested in developing their identities as clinical psychologists."
--John Sommers-Flanagan, PhD, University of Montana, and co-author of Clinical Interviewing

Featuring fully integrated coverage of the new DSM-5, this updated edition offers comprehensive coverage of the subfields of clinical psychology, including clinical assessment, psychotherapy, ethical and professional issues, current controversies, and specialized topics. Up-to-date references, including many from DSM-5 in 2012 and 2013, are featured.

Through the creative use of metaphor, the author connects new concepts with concepts readers already know, making this an accessible text for all readers. In addition, the book provides balanced coverage of multiple clinical perspectives, a wide variety of clinical examples, and a unique focus on ethics and cultural diversity.

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.
