David H. Barlow, V. Mark Durand, Stefan G. Hofmann. ISBN-13: 9781305950443. The Cengage Learning DISCOVERY SERIES: INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY is designed to deliver traditional course content in an innovative "hybrid" learning format-instruction presented in a printed book paired with integrated online applications and assessments. The program promotes measurable mastery of core course learning objectives by guiding students' active engagement with content delivered through the book, images, video, simulations, and assessments.

In this briefer version of Durand and Barlow's widely taught text, the authors explain abnormal psychology through their standard-setting integrative approach--the most modern, scientifically valid method for studying the subject. Through this integrative approach, students learn that psychological disorders are rarely caused by a single influence, but rooted in the interaction among multiple factors: biological, psychological, cultural, social, familial, and even political. A conversational writing style, consistent pedagogy, and real case profiles--95 percent from the authors' own case files--provide a realistic context for the scientific findings of the book. In addition, these features ensure that readers never lose sight of the fact that real people are behind the DSM-IV-TR criteria, the theories, and the research.

It is a book of psychology information that got me through the class with an A. I don't know what other Abnormal Psych books are out there but, if I were teaching the class, I would look into other possibilities. This is an odd thing to say about a textbook but, it gave me this persistent feeling of bummed out dread that I had to read more of it. Abnormal psych is not a cheery topic but, this book made it worse. When I needed to double check that what I was reading smacked of sexism and a feeling of "if you're mentally ill it is your fault", I read passages of it to a friend who is an older "guy's guy" and he was also taken aback by the tone.

This was an upper level PSYCH course and the book standard. No complaints. In fact its very easy to read, the language seems almost high school. I bought the E-Book for the IPAD and its fantastic. Cheaper, weighs nothing, bring it EVERYWHERE so you can access it whenever. No more man i wish i had my class book right now....Kindle account can be accessed from any computer BTW. The only downside is you can't sell it back...But i never sell my books back anyway. I like them on my bookshelf and hate being made a sucker by the bookstores. I only ever sell to friends for the price the book store would buy my book from me.. not the inflated price they resell it at and make huge profit. Also a few of the pictures did not transfer into the E-book do to copyright issues so once in a while youll miss a picture of sigmund freud or whatever but all of the book diagrams are there just not photos all the time. Its 20- 80 dollars cheaper for e-books so really the ipad pays for its self quickly and is very versitile.

Out of all my text books for school, this is the one that I enjoyed the most. The information is up to date and relevant to what is actually going on in the world. There are questions throughout each chapter to review the section you just read and also there are questions at the end of each one to summarize the reading as a whole. I definitely think this helped me to get such a good grade in this class. I didn't feel as if I was spending the whole time studying taking notes since the study guides are so helpful. I learned more about myself in this class than any other that I have taken.

I do not often review my textbooks, but this one was particularly well written. It does seem to be written toward the DSM-4, not the DSM-5, so you may want to pick up the DSM-5 Desk Reference (if not the full manual) to go with it. I'm nearly finished with my Associates and this is one of only 2 textbooks that I've decided to keep even after my courses are over.

This textbook is a very good overview of many forms of mental illness. It's a pleasurable read with good illustrations. The information was timely, up-to-date, and pertinent to contemporary issues and knowledge. I was fortunate enough to have a top-notch professor for this course who knew the text well, so that made the course much more enjoyable. If sociology or psychology is your major and you are planning on entering the field, this is one text you should consider keeping and adding to your personal library. I can gladly rate this textbook with a solid four stars.

Binthars

i was required to buy this so it's alright I GUESS.

Keel

Lots of info and includes stories and backgrounds on both of the author's own experiences with certain cases. Easy to read even though it's a lot of pages. It's interesting enough.

Brought as required textbook for UC San Diego PSYC100: Clinical Psychology.
Used the textbook for the entire quarter with the class. This text provides a comprehensive overall approach to understanding the different forms of brain disorders from anxiety to eating disorders. In addition, there were brain disorders that I had not even heard of as well.
It is a great text for class or to gain a further understanding on abnormal psychology and the field of clinical psychology.
