One of the best textbooks I have ever used.,
By
This review is from: Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology (Paperback)
Abnormal Psych. by Dr. Comer is without a doubt one of the best textbooks I have ever used. Why? There are a number of reasons. (1) This book has one author, so therefore the book speaks with one voice. Professors who wish to write books need to heed the adage "too many cooks spoil the soup." I am glad Dr. Comer did because he has written a text that is easy to follow, concept by concept. (2) With regard to concepts: Many professors write textbooks as if other professors will be reading them. Not Dr. Comer. This text is not only appropriate for the graduate student, the unininitiated will benefit from this book as well. He uses lean prose, simple-to-understand language and synatx. (3) Dr. Comer's book is very logically structured. He presents each psychopathology, looks at it from each perspective, e.g. psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, existential, etc., then he outlines how each school of thought would deal with the issue. The vignettes sprinkled throughout each chapter are very informative. A nice supplement. I bought this book in order to get a handle on some of the principles of abnormal psych. before I take a graduate psychopathology course this fall. Not having had abnormal psych at the undergraduate or graduate level, I was looking for a text that would "bring me up to speed," before I start class this fall. Thanks to Dr. Comer, I'll be ready!

I loved clinical psychology because of this book,
By Superman (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology 3e&cd ROM (Paperback)
The second class I took when I studied psychology was Intro to Abnormal Psychology and this was the textbook. That was years ago. Studying this book was enough to make me decide that I wanted to earn a PhD in clinical psychology. It is a well organized book and I still have it in my library.
