Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology

About this book

This casebook presents comprehensive coverage of 23 high interest cases that include topics such as eating disorders gender identity disorder borderline personality and posttraumatic stress disorder. Each study (1) provides detailed descriptions of a range of clinical problems (2) illustrates some of the ways in which these problems can be viewed and treated and (3) discusses some of the evidence that is available concerning the prevalence and causes of the disorders in question. Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology Ninth Edition is available in alternate versions (eBooks and custom) for professors and students.
