4.0 out of 5 stars Instructor Review, March 18, 2008

By 

Christopher Herron (Cheyenne, WY, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clinical Psychology Concepts, Methods, & Profession (Hardcover)

All in all, not a bad textbook covering the basics on introductory clinical psychology. Loaded with lots of photos and side-bars, the text could have been improved with the use of color vs. B/W shaded images.

The text also comes with a CD with added, useful information.
