In this text, the authors provide a multidimensional approach that should help students understand how each psychological disorder is determined by multiple forces: biological; psychological; cultural; social; familial; and political.
This briefer version of Barlow and Durand's best-selling text was created specifically for those professors who were interested in the authors' standard-setting integrative approach but wanted a shorter, easier book. In this version, the authors provide a multidimensional approach that helps students understand how each psychological disorder is determined by multiple forces: biological; psychological; cultural; social; familial; and even political. Throughout the text, real cases provide a realistic context for the scientific findings of the book and ensure that readers understand the fact that beyond the DSM-IV criteria, the theories and the research are actual individuals. The second edition offers a complete course solution, including online resources, an interactive CD-ROM, six videos, a casebook, two books of readings and other ancillaries.
