Casebook in Abnormal Psychology: An Integrative Approach (Paperback)

Offering a wide range of realistic cases taken from the authors' case files or from the case files of other working clinicians, this casebook portrays the nature of disorders as they are displayed in real people. Cases illustrate every major DSM-IV category and are followed by a therapy outcome section which gives the "rest of the story" of what happened to these clients. The authors draw on a current and thorough database, look at the multiple causes of disorders, and incorporate developmental and cultural issues in each case. Two complex unsolved cases are included without a diagnosis to give students an opportunity to come up with diagnoses on their own.
