It's a shame this book is a special order. Everyone I have shown the book to, has gone gah-gah (this is a word?) The scholastic and academic quality are consistent with the best of the Oxford Press. The clarity and parsimony of the explication is beautiful. The data are current and insightful. Anyone in clinical practice would benefit from this book. The diagnoses used are those from DSM-IV, but the insight into patient behavior may be timeless. Although as an edited book it is subject to inter-author variability, I found none; rather a consistent voice of compassion for patients, tempered by a scientific mind.

The book starts off dry and dense but very helpful over all in my class. It damages very easy with the slighest little drop but the book contains lots of information that you would have to search multiple sources to find. It is also organized very well and after the first few chapters reading it is a breeze. Pricy but required wrth the investment

I must say that the Oxford Textbook of Psychopathology is a great reference. As a student, I have written numerous papers with the help of this textbook.

SO excited to read the cool information in this book! Seems to be very useful for someone going into a masters or doctoral program in Clinical Psych.
