Description:
See disorders in real life with CASEBOOK IN ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY! Using authentic cases that illustrate every major DSM-IV category, this psychology text portrays the nature of disorders as they manifest in real people. Each case is followed by a therapy outcome section which gives you the rest of the story of what happened to the client. Two complex cases are included without a diagnosis to give you an opportunity to come up with diagnoses on your own. |
