In Richard Halgin and Susan Krauss Whitbourne's "Abnormal Psychology: Clinical Perspectives on Psychological Disorders", students are shown the human side of Abnormal Psychology. Through the widespread use of current and highly relevant clinical case studies, the biographies and first person quotations in the Real Stories feature, and the unique case media program Faces Interactive Online, students are presented with real life portrayals of the disorders featured in the text.
The new sixth edition includes updated research coverage and increased pedagogy, designed to maximize student comprehension.
