Abnormal Psychology

Real Science. Real Life. Deborah Beidel, Cynthia Bulik, and Melinda Stanley take a scientist-practitioner-educator approach and help students see and understand the connection between the science and practice of abnormal psychology. This leading-edge author team, consisting of three active researchers, clinicians, and educators, take a scientist-practitioner approach emphasizing the rich blend of both the science and practice of abnormal psychology throughout the text. The developmental trajectory of each condition is discussed where appropriate and scientific findings with respect to race and gender are incorporated into discussions about each condition. Biological findings are integrated with findings from social and behavioral sciences, highlighting the complexity of abnormal behavior and how it is often influenced by a wide range of variables. The authors encourage students to look at psychological disorders along a continuum and analyze disorders in terms of whether the individual's behavior creates distress or impairs daily functioning. Importantly, an effort is made to "bring to life" the nature of these conditions by providing vivid clinical descriptions. In addition to short descriptions used liberally throughout each chapter, a fully integrated case study is presented at the end of each chapter, again illustrating the interplay of biological, psychosocial and emotional factors.

Abnormal Child and Adolescent Psychology

A Developmental Perspective, Second Edition

Written from a developmental perspective, Abnormal Child and Adolescent Psychology is organized around five prominent and recurring themes: the course of normal development proceeds in an orderly and predictable direction; maladaptive behaviors represent deviations from the normal path; maladaptive behavior is represented by a continuum of severity (symptoms, syndromes, disorders) based on the degree to which behaviors deviate from the norm; individual, interpersonal, contextual and cultural factors interact in a reciprocal way to influence normal development and abnormal deviations; theoretical input from diverse perspectives can guide our understanding of underlying processes that precipitate and maintain behaviors and the different developmental pathways that might result. The revision will be divided into 5 sections, all integrating the DSM-5, and will include a new chapter on child maltreatment and self injurious behavior.

Building a Better Vocabulary

By Studying Words in Context

After finishing work on the fundamentals of English grammar and syntax, the Hispanic student is often looking for ways to increase his or her general vocabulary. To that end, this book is designed either for studying by oneself or for participating in an academic program. To adapt the text to the widest levels of language skills, the words chosen for study range from the relatively simple to the more complex. Then, as a first step in outlining the meaning of the word, its Spanish equivalent appears in italics immediately after its initial listing and its sounds-of-speech pronunciation. The full analysis of the word ends with a space for the student's using that word in a sentence. That analysis, including a listing of typical synonyms and antonyms, is followed by an end-of-section series of comprehension checks. In short, the student sees the impact of context on the meaning of a word, has a familiar Spanish word as an added help to understanding the word, learns something of its origin, has an immediate opportunity to use it, and gets acquainted wit its common synonyms and antonyms. Finally, each of the twelve 'chapters' contains a short discussion of a common mistake to be avoided or a desirable quality of language (e.g., reliance on 'action words') to be developed.

To that end, this book is designed either for studying by oneself or for participating in an academic program.
