Product Description
Review
“The challenge of not only describing, but also starting to explain, psychopathology is a daunting one, but Psychopathology does a superb job. … Students’ understanding and appreciation for the key issues in psychopathology etiology, assessment, intervention and research will increase tremendously by reading this text.” - Bethany Teachman, PhD, Director, Program for Anxiety, Cognition and Treatment; Associate Professor of Psychology, University of Virginia, USA
“The editors have assembled a very distinguished group of experts whose contributions comprise a valuable textbook with excellent attention to current psychopathology research. The special attention to clinical judgment, and mental health and aging are particularly appealing and important features.” - Barry A. Edelstein, PhD, Eberly Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychology, West Virginia University, USA
“This book will be of great value to mental health professionals across career stages. … For all readers, the book's clarity and insight on the nature of psychopathology itself, on clinical assessment, on cultural dimensions, and more, will provide an invaluable resource.” - Thomas Joiner, PhD, Author of Lonely at the Top and Why People Die By Suicide
Product Description
Psychopathology is intended for first-year graduate students in clinical psychology, counseling psychology, and related fields, and it has been specifically designed to meet the needs of students in these courses. Maddux and Winstead have brought together the most distinguished researchers in the fields of clinical psychology and psychopathology in order to provide up-to-date information about theory and research, as well as to challenge students to think critically about psychopathology. Thoroughly revised and updated from the previous edition, the book focuses throughout on what has been demonstrated by research, not on what has been claimed by theories that may be accepted or traditional but lack empirical support. The first section presents and analyzes the basic concepts we need to understand any disorder; the second examines the disorders most frequently encountered in clinical practice.

A breath of fresh air....
3 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book challenges what psychopathology should actually reflect upon in a contemporary and academic way. What graduates need is not yet another regurgitation of undergrad set conservative texts, but a series of chapters just like this that aims to lead the therapists of tommorrow towards challenging what we think we already know and making up our own minds on essential issues of mental health.

Refreshingly good text
26 July 2008
Format:Hardcover
Most textbooks of this nature tend to be a regurgitation of the current DSM. The difference with this one is that it looks at psychopathology from many viewpoints and within a range of behaviors. This will stimulate your thinking about what is considered normal and abnormal. This text is good for seasoned professionals who do not want the same 'ol, same 'ol.

Great information!
28 Feb 2007
Format:Hardcover
Some comments below complain that the vocabulary is too advanced- well, that may be true but personally that's what I want in an upper-level textbook!
Very accurate and a true asset to any student or mental health professional. Highly recommended!
