Very thorough treatment of the subject from well rounded, expert authors. Text assumes no previous knowledge, and is quite lengthy because of its comprehensive nature. I have used it many times as a reference text after taking a course in which it was required.

Also this text is an example of a beautiful job of "book making". The text has many color plates -- and a high quality printing job.

Using DSM-IV criteria throughout, the authors manage to provide a succinct analysis of psychopathology, as seen from a transtheoretical perspective.

The research alone quoted throughout makes this book a valuable resource, but combined with an engaging writing style and top-notch structure, it promises to secure Barlow and Durand's position as authors-to-beat when it comes to the field of Abnormal Psychology.

The book treats many cases and reaches high level of coverage; it is very helpful, that in practice one can find many similarities, since the cases are very realistic and explained in depth. My opinion is, that it is valuable because it is applicable.

The book is easy to read and it gives great examples to better understand the concepts. I would recommend this book.

This text describes the integrative approach to psychological disorder, treatments and even some prevention information. Great for any abnormal psychology course.

No new student of psychology should be without this book.Bought it for my wife who is doing an intro to psychology course but it makes interesting reading definitely a keeper a superb addition to our library that's right we wont be selling it back to anyone.

This book is well written with many pictures - it will make an excellent reference book for my library. It arrived in great condition and I will use the vendor again.

Inaccurate on ME (CFS). For example, it says there is no evidence to support immune dysfunction or virus as causes.

great book, did not have the CD in it, since the title was wrong, the seller offer 50% dicount, thanks!!!

This was a course text book that was used in a graduate level course I took. It was easy to follow and understand.
