The current version, Abnormal Psychology, Seventh Edition, represents the twelfth edition of one or the other of the textbooks. The journey truly has been a labor of love, but I also must admit that each edition has required enormous effort, ridiculous pressure, and too many sleepless nights to count. I do not mention these labors to complain.
To the contrary, I feel deeply appreciative and privileged to have had the opportunity to help educate more than a half-million readers over the years. Instead, I mention them to help emphasize that I have approached each edition as a totally new undertaking rather than as a cut-and-paste update of past editions.
My goal each time has been that the new edition is a fresh, comprehensive, and exciting presentation of the current state of this ever-changing field and that it includes state-of-the-art pedagogical techniques and insights. All such changes should find their way into a book about the current state of human functioning, and I have worked hard to include them here in a profound and integrated way.
That said, I believe I have produced a new edition of Abnormal Psychology that will once again excite readers, open the field of abnormal psychology to them, and speak to them and their times, while at the same time demonstrating that behavior, including abnormal behavior, pervades their lives and their world.
Throughout the book I have again sought to convey my passion for the field, and I have built on the generous feedback of my colleagues in this enterprise—the students and professors who have used this textbook over the years. At the risk of sounding even more grandiose than I actually am, let me describe what I believe to be special about this edition.
Changes and Features New to This Edition As I just noted, enormous changes have taken place over the past several years both in the fields of abnormal psychology, education, and publishing and in the world. Keeping such developments in mind, I have brought the following changes and new features to the current edition.
In the twenty-first century, however, the study of such factors has, appropriately, been elevated to a broad perspective—the multicultural perspective, a theoretical and treatment approach to abnormal behavior that is, or should be, considered across all forms of psychopathology and treatment. Broad multicultural perspective sections within each chapter of the textbook, each examining in depth the impact of cultural issues on the diagnosis, development, and treatment of the abnormal pattern in question.
Chapter 3, Models of Abnormality, for example, includes sections on culture-sensitive therapies and gender-sensitive therapies pages 82—83 ; Chapter 5, Anxiety Disorders, examines the ties between race, culture, and posttraumatic stress disorder pages — ; Chapter 8, Mood Disorders, discusses the links between gender, culture, and depression pages — ; and Chapter 11, Eating Disorders, probes the relationships between race, gender, and eating disorders pages — Numerous boxes, collectively titled Eye on Culture boxes, appear throughout the text, further emphasizing multicultural issues.
Multicultural photography, figures, and cases. If our society is indeed multicultural and the clinical field has increasingly appreciated this, then photographs, art, and case presentations throughout the textbook should reflect such diversity. Even a quick look through the pages of this textbook will reveal that it truly reflects the cultural diversity of our society and of the field of abnormal psychology. Correspondingly, biological theories and treatments for abnormal behavior have taken unprecedented leaps forward during the past several years.
The current edition brings these leaps to life—fully and in all their splendor. In addition to the biochemical view of abnormal behavior on display in previous editions, the current edition includes detailed coverage of the following: 1. Broader discussions of the genetic underpinnings of abnormal behavior for example, pages 52—53, —, —, and — Detailed explanations of both the brain structures and brain functions at the root of abnormal behavior, including, for example, presentations of how various neural networks operate and contribute to panic disorder pages — , obsessive-compulsive disorder page , depression pages — , and other forms of psychopathology.
More revealing descriptions of the neuroimaging techniques themselves and their role in the study of abnormal psychology for example, pages — Neuroscience photography and art. This edition is filled with photos of exciting brain scans that reveal the brain structures and activities at work in abnormal- Preface ity for example, pages , , , , and Similarly, numerous pieces of new, current, and enlightening anatomical art fill each chapter of the book to help readers better appreciate the locations and interactions of various brain structures as they work together to help produce both normal and abnormal behavior for example, pages , , , and Analyses of how genetic factors and brain chemicals and structures interact with psychosocial factors to produce abnormal behavior.
Abnormality is rarely a matter of biological versus psychosocial factors, and this edition repeatedly clarifies that point for example, pages 84—85, —, and — And, indeed, its role has become even more powerful and confusing in the twenty-first century as use of the Internet has exploded, countless blogs have emerged, and ordinary people now are able to communicate with masses of unknown others at the click of a mouse.
And, of course, these elements are all on display throughout the textbook. At the same time, however, one element often is neglected in textbooks—the modern world! We live in an ever-changing world that has, in fact, undergone a major facelift over the past decade. The finished product is, in turn, a more complete book about abnormal psychology—past and present—that is relevant to all.
In addition to The Media Speaks boxes and Eye on Culture boxes mentioned earlier, the seventh edition contains A Closer Look boxes ones that examine text topics in more depth and PsychWatch boxes ones that look at examples of abnormal psychology in movies, the news, and the world around us. Continuing Strengths In this edition I have also been careful to retain the themes, material, and techniques that have worked successfully and been embraced enthusiastically by past readers.
All major models—psychological, biological, and sociocultural—receive objective, balanced, up-to-date coverage, without bias toward any single approach. I have tried therefore to write always with empathy and to impart this awareness to students. In addition to a complete overview of treatment in the opening chapters, each of the pathology chapters includes a full discussion of relevant treatment approaches. More than 25 percent of the clinical material in this edition is new or revised significantly.
In addition, a traditional glossary is available at the back of the book. Twenty-five percent of these questions are new to the seventh edition. All of the figures, graphs, and tables, many new to this edition, reflect the most up-to-date data available. Supplements I have been delighted by the enthusiastic responses of both professors and students to the supplements that accompany my textbooks. This edition offers those supplements once again, revised and enhanced, and adds a number of exciting new ones.
Faculty Guide included. I also have written an accompanying guide that fully describes and discusses each video clip, so that professors can make informed decisions about the use of the segments in lectures. In addition, Nicholas Greco, College of Lake County, has written a completely new set of questions to accompany each video segment in the series. Comer and Gregory Comer. To accompany this edition, I have also pulled together a set of 10 longer video case studies that bring to life particularly interesting forms of psychopathology and treatment.
These in-depth and authentic videos provide students with a critical window into the world of abnormal psychology and the people who suffer from the disorders. There are two customizable slide sets for each chapter of the book—one featuring chapter text, the other featuring all chapter art and illustrations.
These customized slides focus on key text terms and themes, reflect the main points in significant detail, and feature tables, graphs, and figures from the book.
Each set of chapter slides is accompanied by a set of handouts, which can be distributed to students for use during lectures. Answer keys and suggestions for use are also provided. This collection gives you access to all of the photographs from Abnormal Psychology, Seventh Edition. The Image and Lecture Gallery is a convenient way to access electronic versions of lecture materials. Users also can create personal folders for easy organization of the materials.
