A modern take on adult disorders, incorporating context, research, and more

Psychopathology provides unique, state-of-the-art coverage of adult psychopathology as categorical, evidence-based, and continuously evolving.

Mapped to the DSM-5, each chapter includes clinical case examples that illustrate how psychopathology and assessment influence treatment.
