Synopsis:

"Understanding Abnormal Psychology" appeals to professors who teach an applied multicultural approach that is more rigorous and integrative (as compared to the Essentials version that addresses the need for a lower level, less expensive text). The strengths of this comprehensive text lie in its multicultural coverage, research and promotion of critical-thinking skills. The Eighth Edition has been updated and refreshed, and the technology program has been completely revamped and upgraded with the addition of new Abnormal Psych in Film videos, CRS and BB/Web CT content and revised student CD-ROM and PowerPoint program. The pedagogical hallmarks that continue to support this market-leading text include: Mental Health and Society and Critical Thinking boxes, Myth vs. Reality discussions and Case Studies that tie the chapter content to real-world examples.
