4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology (Paperback)
Bought this book for an Abnormal Psych class and it's awesome! Doesn't feel like reading a textbook; the authors give a very in-depth description of each case (Symptoms, Social History, Diagnosis, Treatment, Discussion, etc) and explain each section in a way that is clear and easy to read. A little on the pricier side but definitely worth it!

Well Worth It,

This review is from: Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology (Paperback)
Though I've not been through all the cases in this book as of this review, those I have read thus far have proven to be very informative. The cases themselves as well as the history, etiology, discussions and treatment are fascinating. In this book you will find conditions that fit someone you know or have known, maybe even yourself at some point in your life. My experience with major depressive disorder (296.2/DSM IV) a few years ago was brought into a new light by the case described in this book. It helped me understand my condition and why it developed as it did. As a sidenote, I gradually stopped my Lexapro after about 14 months and no longer need or want an anti-depressant. Anyone interested in abnormal psychology, whether a layperson or clinician will find this book educational and a good read.
