Excellent text for entry level students in Human Services...very up to date and clearly explains mental disorders while focusing on cultural sensitivity and reducing stigma...I plan to use this text for my Co-occurring Disorders course in the Spring...
Textbook for my abnormal psych class. Book sucks. Opening the chapter on suicide with a full-page photo of a man holding a gun to his head is triggering af and the language used throughout the book is incredibly stigmatizing. The section on autism is super cringeworthy.
This was a fantastic textbook for my Abnormal Psychology class! It’s a college-level text. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is going into the field of psychology or social work.
