READ FOR PSYC 405 - Experimental Psychopathology
I only read about half the book - Chapters 1 to 6 and 10. The class didn't need the other topics covered in the book. So I can't comment on the stuff I didn't read. But what I did read was decently informative. The methods chapters are a bit boring, but that's just not my interest. It's practical and need-to-know stuff, and it's explained decently well. The chapter on psychopathy was more my interest, and I was disappointed to see how little literature they referenced and how little consensus their is on the topic. The same goes for bipolar disorder.
Limitations and problems regarding recruitment were discussed, as well as potential avenues for future experiments and treatment and even the various view points concerning etiology for relevant disorders. A good starting off point for people interested in the field, but I wouldn't really consider it a textbook on its own; additional readings and class learning are definitely needed to bolster the information in the text. Not to mention the book is over 10 years old now so the information is rather dated. An updated edition with more recent research would likely be more helpful.
