The case studies selected for use in this book are very interesting and serve as excellent examples for various mental health diagnoses. Up-to-date, cutting edge treatment modalities for each specific disorder are also discussed in the chapters. It is an excellent resource.

This book is very readable, and gives case examples of several different mental disorders with a discussion at the end of each case. It enables the reader to understand aspects of a disorder that he or she might not glean from reading only textbooks. It is an excellent companion to textbooks on abnormal psych or psychopathology. My biggest complaint is the pricetag for such a small book.

I am a Psychology major at a private four year college and I think this book is great. This book brings real cases for the main psychological disoders such as: GAD, PDA, OCD and schizophrenia (just to name a few). David H. Barlow is a world renowned psychologist and professor of psychology and psychiatry and director of the center for anxiety disorders at Boston University. For each case, the authors include: clinical history, DSM-Iv-TR diagnosis, case formulation using the integrative model, treatment goals and planning, and course of treatment and treatment planning. This book is essential for recognazing symptoms for each disorder and for aquiring skills such as diagnosis. I feel this book is important to undetrtanding the implications of psychological disorders, since it brings each disorder to life.

This book was required reading for one of my graduate classes, and I really enjoyed reading the case studies. The text is readable, and the case studies bring the disorders to life. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this text and am actually keeping it to refer back to.

This text is well written with a great description of each disorder followed by a detailed account of treatment and outcome of each individual. Every section finishes with a list of 5 critical thinking questions.

This book was sent on time and was in great condition. I had a good experience with this company and reccomend it to anyone.

I am happy with my recent purchase. It arrived on time, two week earlier than stipulated date, and in good condition. Purchasing in Amazon.com is a good way to make a good buy

Excellent text for either a college student or someone working as an aide who wants to know more about the clients. Material clear and well presented.

The seller was great with communication with be both before and after I bought the product.

The book was in great condition when I got it. I also got it rather quickly in comparison to the other books that I ordered.
