About this title

Synopsis

Essentials of Abnormal Psychology in a Changing World brings a much-needed Canadian perspective on Abnormal Psychology. This briefer, softcover text is perfect for one-semester courses. It introduces students to the basic concepts of the field with a clear and engaging writing style; research-based, comprehensive coverage, superior pedagogy and student-oriented applications; and integration of sociocultural material throughout.

The Canadian authors provide Canadian statistics and legal perspectives on mental disorders, and have carefully integrated many Canadian cases and examples so that students can appreciate the range and types of mental health problems in their own communities. This new Canadian edition illustrates how the expression and treatment of psychological problems are strongly influenced by cultural factors. The authors also aim to increase awareness of the important, relevant research that has been done and is continuing to be conducted in Canada.
