From the Back Cover

Key Benefit: Research articles in abnormal psychology necessarily focus on specific theories and experiments. Other books focus on the historical, descriptive, research, diagnostic and treatment issues. But what most of these readings lack are significant, in-depth case studies illustrating abnormal behavior. This book fills that niche. Key Topics: This book brings the field of abnormal psychology to life through a rare combination of humor, readability and strong scholarship. Using a riveting mix of well-known figures and cases from his own experience, the author provides a rich array of case material to explore anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, schizophrenia, affective disorders, psychosexual disorders, eating disorders, among others. Each case in the book contains the full background material relevant to etiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic considerations. Also presented are significant family data in order to provide a clear picture of how specific behavior patterns were generated and maintained. Many cases dealing with current issues are included, such as a study of Jesse Temmendequas, the catalyst for Megan's Law dealing with sex offenders, and the case of Ronald Reagan's struggle with Alzheimer's disease. Market: Psychologists and other mental health professionals.
