5.0 out of 5 stars Sorry to give it up, March 15, 2007

This review is from: Abnormal Psychology (Hardcover)

If I didn't need the money so badly, I'd keep this textbook. It's the first time I haven't been dying to get rid of a textbook. Make no mistake. This book is intelligent, a great read, and the layout is not overdone (unlike some books where your eye doesn't know where to look first). For me, it is the perfect model for a psychology text--reading never felt like an assignment or chore. It really was something I looked forward to.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best text book in the field so far, February 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Abnormal Psychology (Hardcover)

Only after having to read and digest so many boring and endless text books, first medical ones, and then psychological, I can apreciate a good one when I see it. "Abnormal Psychology" is an easy to read, elegantly formated, and very interesting book about the subject. It is not, however, what one might call popular sceince type. Fitting very well for 1st-2nd year students, it will serve as a waem welcome into the world of pathopsychology.

5.0 out of 5 stars A joy to read! Not too technical, but full of useful info!, May 10, 1999

I liked this text because it presented the information in an unbiased manner. It used a lot of case studies and current events to support the various psychological theories. The CD ROM was extra helpful because it had quizzes over each chapter as well as videos.
