Review

I order the book next day deliever and it was here exactly whent they said it will be.

Good for use as a text or resource for practioners.

This book is, obviously, a little on the "pricey" side, but I look at it this way; a purchase like this is an investment in your career. As a graduate student about to enter the field, I have found this book to be an invaluable supplement I use for reference for my other courses. The writing is accessible, research-based, and well organized.

excellant choice for those begining to learn psychopathology

This is an excellant text to begin with when starting to understand psychopathology from a research-based orientation. The chapters are well organized and formulated around the most recent research to provide the reader with sufficient information to decern distinct pathologies within the DSM-IV format. Each chapter provides information for the etiology, psychological/biological (neurological/genetic)foundations of the disorder, and treatment information. Most importantly, the text revolves around the research and is impartial to the theoretical orientations that often confuse the issues.
