5.0 out of 5 stars Best abnormal psych casebook I've seen, January 29, 2009
This review is from: A Casebook in Abnormal Psychology: From the Files of Experts (Paperback)
I looked at a number of casebooks for an undergraduate 'Clinical Principles' class I'm teaching in a Psychiatric Rehabilitation program, and this was the best I found by a comfortable margin. Thoughtful, well-written case studies that capture the nuance and complexity of these illnesses, with great therapist's-eye-view commentary for students and new practitioners.

2.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but limited, December 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Casebook in Abnormal Psychology: From the Files of Experts (Paperback)
I ordered this so I'd have more cases to use when teaching my abnormal psychology class. It isn't very good for that use. It goes very much in depth on a few cases, but I can't see making my students pay for it and there aren't enough cases to use it for teaching or testing.
