Student Feedback "It uses people and cases you can relate to in real life. While some researches present abstract information which is difficult to assimilate, this book gives a vivid life story of issues that are clear and easy to understand and digest. I mostly find myself nodding after reading the "research Hot Topics" and Examining the Evidence" sections." ~E. Sorkpor, Hunter College "This book details the mental disorders that exist from childhood to senior citizens. I have a better understanding of how these disorders occur and what to expect when it occurs in members of my own family." ~ M. Lewis, Hunter College "I thought it was a very thorough introduction to abnormal psychology. I feel prepared to continue my studies but also find that I've already used the knowledge I've learned in my day-to-day life several times when different topics of conversation. I would describe the text as clear and interesting." ~K. Szostek, Hunter College "Engaging, clear, concise, interesting, and easy to read. It was truly the only textbook that I have ever looked forward to opening." ~ E.
