This groundbreaking core textbook offers a comprehensive overview of different approaches to the causes, assessment and treatment of psychological disorders. The book includes important diagnostic frameworks, including the new DSM-5-TR, ICD-11 and PDM, but also widens the scope of coverage beyond mainstream psychiatric models to include psychological, biological, historical, sociocultural and therapeutic approaches.

Contemporary and well-balanced, this book provides an even-handed and holistic foundation, allowing students to develop a strong critical mindset while retaining a robust research-driven orientation.

This new edition:
- features an innovative structure organized by presenting problem, examining each in a broad context of traditional psychiatric and alternative approaches
- is grounded in lived experience of disorder: shining a spot-light on service-users through 'Case Examples' scenarios and 'Lived Experience' perspective pieces
- Supports student learning and critical thinking through engaging 'Controversial Question' and 'In Depth' features
- Features an attractive new layout and plenty of colour illustrations
- Is supported by impressive online support features including lecture slides, a test bank, instructor manual, video library, student study questions, self-test quizzes, flashcard activities and more.

Now thoroughly updated to include the latest developments in research and clinical practice, along with enhanced in-text and online pedagogy to support instructors and learners, this book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students on abnormal psychology, psychopathology, mental health or clinical psychology courses.

Jonathan D. Raskin is Professor and Chair of Psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz, USA.
