4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, easy to read, but pretty dry, February 28, 2003

By	Empyreal (LA, CA) - See all my reviews

I have been reading this text for my clinical psych class, and it's really informative. the authors provide a really good overview of everything so you get breadth and depth. The only drawback is the book is pretty dry reading. Some authors have the talent of making the textbook interesting and informative, but this is not one of those textbooks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive textbook in clinical psychology, January 22, 2002

By	N. Kemmotsu "nohunohu" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This textbook can be used as an introduction as its name suggests, and it also can be used as a kind of reference book after you have learned some more stuff in clinical psychology. What is good about this text is that it talks about every aspect of clinical psychology, from assesment, testing, observation, to intervention, and it also talks about sub areas such as child clinical, health psychology, neuropsychology, and forensic psychology. It sites many famous studies in clinical psychology. Good examples and some accounts on history as well.
