"This book provides an excellent introduction to clinical
psychology. Written in an accessible style, the text effectively
combines theory and research with practice examples and case
studies." -Jason Davies, Professor of Forensic and Clinical
Psychology, Swansea University "Comprehensive on key areas,
theories and models." -Jessica Fielding, Lecturer in Psychology,
University of Bristol "Case formulations bring to life the various
disorders presented here. A scholarly discussion of developments in
clinical practice including third wave cognitive behavioural
therapies is another unique strength. I highly recommend this as a
key text for practitioner psychology trainees and health care
professionals working in medical settings." -Christina Liossi,
Chair in Paediatric Psychology, University of Southampton and
Honorary Consultant in Paediatric Psychology, Great Ormond Street
Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust Extensively updated,
this popular and accessibly written textbook outlines the latest
research and therapeutic approaches within clinical psychology,
alongside important developments in clinical practice. The book
introduces and evaluates the conceptual models of mental health
problems and their treatment, including second and third wave
therapies. Each disorder is considered from a psychological, social
and biological perspective and different intervention types are
thoroughly investigated. Key updates to this edition include: *The
development of case formulations for conditions within each chapter
*An articulation and use of modern theories of psychopathology,
including sections on the transdiagnostic approach, meta-cognitive
therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy *An introduction to
emerging mental health issues, such as internet gaming disorder
*Challenging 'stop and think' boxes that encourage readers to
address topical issues raised in each chapter, such as societal
responses to topics as varied as psychopathy, paedophilia and the
Black Lives Matter movement *New vocabulary collated into key terms
boxes for easy reference Paul Bennett is Professor of Clinical and

worked as a clinical psychologist, as well as an academic at
Cardiff and Bristol universities. He has published over 125
academic papers, in addition to a number of highly regarded
student-focused books Praise for the previous edition: "This book
provided an invaluable orientation to the grounding theoretical
principles of clinical health psychology, how this knowledge can be
applied by psychologists in healthcare settings, particular
assessment and intervention approaches and issues associated with
working with patients in healthcare settings ... I would highly
recommend this as a key text for clinical psychology trainees and
postgraduates working or researching in medical settings across the
lifespan, both as a general orientation tool and a resource to
refer to with reference to specific presenting issues.
Fleur-Michelle Coiffait, Doctoral student, University of Edinburgh,
UK"The tone of this volume is well pitched; it is written in clear
English yet without being over-simplified. New vocabulary is
collated into 'key terms' boxes for easy reference at the end of
the chapter - a useful device for the new student. Also proffered
at chapter end are 'For Discussion' boxes, encouraging the reader
to critically assess and compare the contents of the chapter, along
with useful suggestions for further reading. With a good level of
detail without swamping the reader, this volume is an excellent
introduction to students of abnormal psychology." Hayley Burgess,
Psychology Graduate
