Abnormal and Clinical Psychology: An Introductory Textbook

Having applied for a Clinical Psychology MSc I was advised to buy this book to prepare for the MSc. The book is an excellent introduction to Clinical and Abnormal Psychology as it explains in sections the different theories and therapies used to treat mental health problems. The book begins by taking you through the various approaches to treatment such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The rest of the book is divided into chapters which explain specific disorders such as depression, schizophrenia and so on.Overall I found the book very useful, it is a good introductory textbook.

Quick delivery good condition, saved me money from buying brand new book

Brilliant book, my lecturer described it to us as an introductory DSM and I think he was spot on. The best points; this edition has excellent up to date refs, recommendations on further reading, and a fantastic critical dialogue on diagnosis, treatment and characteristics of disorders and illness.I'd say its probably a must-read/ or at least very useful up to MSc level.

Clearly laid out, easy to read & very informative - what more could you ask of a text book? 🙂

Explains all the main disorders and conditions well and in enough depth. Interesting and clear explanations. I would recommend to other students.
