Synopsis

Davison/Neale/Blankstein/Flett: Abnormal Psychology, Canadian Edition builds upon the strengths of a classic text and presents abnormal psychology in a Canadian context that is relevant for Canadian students. The authors’ goals are to "make an outstanding text more relevant, engaging, and stimulating" for Canadian students with the inclusion of useful Canadian content and significant Canadian research, statistics, practices, laws, and issues throughout the text.

The text continues to be one of the most current, authoritative overviews of the theories and research in psychopathology and intervention. It maintains the widely praised scientific clinical approach that blends the clinical and empirical/experimental, as the authors examine each disorder from multiple perspectives. It continues to emphasize different paradigms with a particular emphasis on the diathesis-stress paradigm, as necessary for understanding most psychopathologies.

Abnormal Psychology conveys the intellectual excitement of psychology in a unique manner, involving students in the exploration of the discipline’s most puzzling questions and in the critique of existing research.
