Abnormal Psychology - An Integrative Approach (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac) Description:

Abnormal Psychology : An Integrative Approach (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac) review:
5 stars (Cheaper Paperback book) - The book was very reliable (and cheaper) than what I could have bought at the bookstore. So far, the book is working well and I have no doubts.
5 stars (DSM-IV explained (maybe).) - Using DSM-IV criteria throughout, the authors manage to provide a succinct analysis of psychopathology, as seen from a transtheoretical perspective.The research alone quoted throughout makes this book a valuable resource, but combined with an engaging writing style and top-notch structure, it promises to secure Barlow and Durand's position as authors-to-beat when it comes to the field of Abnormal Psychology.
5 stars (Great Introductory book) - Very thorough treatment of the subject from well rounded, expert authors. Text assumes no previous knowledge, and is quite lengthy because of its comprehensive nature. I have used it many times as a reference text after taking a course in which it was required.Also this text is an example of a beautiful job of "book making". The text has many color plates -- and a high quality printing job.
