As any undergraduate student probably knows, most college courses require a textbook; many of which are so painfully long and monotonous that it's really hard to stay focused on the material being read. 'Abnormal Psychology,' on the other hand, was a pleasure to read. Halgin and Whitbourne have presented this subject in a style that's informative, yet clear and concise, and above all...interesting. Included are case studies that accompany each chapter, providing helpful examples of the psychological disorders being addressed (e.g., personality disorders, eating disorders, schizophrenia, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, etc.), along with video clips in the cd-rom. In addition, the writing style itself makes for a smooth read. This book is definitely recommended for understanding abnormal psychology (and if you're a student I'd suggest the workbook too).

This edition was well done. Extra helps and case studies add depth to lectures. All Psych students could benefit from having this text in their collection.

I found this textbook to be easy to understand, interesting in that it kept my attention, and very well done. First textbook I've actually read in its entirety.

This was required reading for my graduate level counseling diagnosis class and one of the few textbooks I really enjoyed reading. The material is fascinating and presented in a very clear format.

Everything the seller had said about the book was true. The book was shiped before the date that it was to be here. So I have no issues with the product or the seller. It has been a good experience with buying a book this way.

The order was correct and in great shape. I appreciated the timely shipping and would highly recommend this seller.
