[This book] provides a thorough grounding for undergraduate students with little or no previous knowledge of this complex area of psychology. The focus is on clinical descriptions, using illustrative case studies, and on the implications of the major theoretical perspectives and relevant empirical evidence for clinical treatment. The author presents a very readable and up-to-date review of topics including childhood behaviour disorders, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, personality disorders and models of abnormal behaviour, and illustrates a scientific approach to the understanding of these aspects of abnormal psychology. - Front page of t.p.
