Psychopathology


簡介(Book Description from Amazon):

The fourth edition of Psychopathology is the most up-to-date text about the etiology and treatment of the most important psychological disorders. Intended for first-year graduate students in clinical psychology, counseling psychology, and related programs, this new edition, revised to be consistent with the DSM-5, continues to focus on research and empirically-supported information while also challenging students to think critically. The first part of the book covers the key issues, ideas, and concepts in psychopathology, providing students with a set of conceptual tools that will help them read more thoroughly and critically the second half of the book, which focuses on specific disorders. Each chapter in the second and third sections provides a definition, description, and brief history of the disorder it discusses, and outlines theory and research on etiology and empirically-supported treatments. This edition also features a companion website hosting lecture slides, a testbank, an instructor’s manual, case studies and exercises, and more.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :


this book was pretty much a miracle

As a struggling medical student, this book was pretty much a miracle. I thought just having the online access would be good enough, but having the book is definitely better because it lays out the information in a more intuitive method on a single page (at least for me).
Also, it's bound very well and as long as I take good care of it, I don't think it'll be falling apart any time soon!

Way Better than Netter!!!!
I first bought the Netter Atlas and wasn't so excited about the hand-drew pictures. When I wanted to study muscles insertions and so on I would find myself flipping throught pages like crazy and using other books and apps plus I felt that there were some pictures that should've been there.
That's when when I found this book.
Is the beeeest one by far. And believe me. Im not biased. I gave the chance to both.
Returned Netter and kept this One.
And you can see you have the tables right at hand and the computer made drawings are just beautiful and detailed.
That without talking about the code it comes with and the resources you have. Plus the new radiographs addition.
It's just the best atlas

By far the best Atlas. Some big names like Netter get so ...
By far the best Atlas. Some big names like Netter get so much recognition, but this blows them all out of the water. This atlas provides more realistic images, and it presents the images from multiple views. Most atlases just label the structures. This atlas explains the purpose of each structure to you.
