Summary: "Abnormal Psychology provides a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the primary psychological disorders studies within the discipline. The authors maintain a focus on individuals and employ a biopsychosocial approach to help students understand the context in which behavioural abnormalities occur. The eighteenth edition presents relevant and extensive research in a concise manner. Chapters have been updated to include new features, with certain chapters having received particular attention. For example, Chapter 4, on clinical assessment and diagnosis, now describes new assessment tools, such as smartphones and wearable biosensors, that are increasingly being used by psychologists to understand human behavior. Similarly, Chapter 12 has been revised significantly to include updated information about sexual dysfunctions, gender dysphoria, and paraphilic disorders." -- Provided by publisher
