Real Science. Real Life. Presents a balanced Scientist -
Practitioner - Educator approach to understanding Abnormal
Psychology. Several features distinguish this text from other
textbooks currently available. First, the base of abnormal
psychology rests on knowledge generated through scientific studies
and clinical practice. This text emphasizes this rich blend
throughout. Second, it is increasingly clear that most forms of
adult abnormal behavior either begin in childhood or have childhood
precursors. This text highlights what is known about the
developmental trajectory of each condition. Such a focus is
instrumental in helping students gain some insight into the
etiology of maladaptive conditions. Third, Beidel integrates
biological findings with findings from social and behavioral
sciences to foster the perspective that abnormal behavior is
complex and subject to many different forces, and highlight how
these variables often interact in a reciprocal fashion. Fourth,
scientific findings with respect to race and gender are discussed
with respect to each condition. This includes a discussion of
prevalence, differences in symptom manifestation, and any known
etiological differences. Importantly, an effort is made to "bring
to life" the nature of these conditions by providing vivid clinical
descriptions. In addition to short descriptions used liberally
throughout each chapter, a fully integrated case study is presented
at the end of each chapter, again illustrating the interplay of
biological, psychosocial and emotional factors. Visit the Beidel
preview website to view a sample chapter, interview with the
author, reviewer quotes, and much more
