Abnormal Psychology: The Science and Treatment of Psychological Disorders consists of a balance and blending of research and clinical application, the use of paradigms as an organizing principle, and involving the learner in the kinds of real-world problem solving engaged in by clinicians and scientists. Students learn that psychopathology is best understood by considering multiple perspectives and that these varying perspectives provide the clearest accounting of the causes of these disorders as well as the best possible treatments.

I must have misunderstood when I purchased, my bad. But I’m a little disappointed that I paid $120 for a “book” for school and it’s not even a book. Its the pages from the book that have been hole punched and you have to put them in a binder…………………… I’d pay more for the real book but didn’t see it on inlori. It’s not bad but if I’m going to pay that much it better be hard cover. Just saying. Again I didn’t get what the loose leaf meant, I thought maybe there was something else included. Just wanted to let future buyers know, have a binder ready if you buy this “book”.

I bought the pdf version of this textbook because I already had a pdf, and it was required for my Abnormal Psychology class. Plus, it was cheaper to buy than the physical copy and takes less space.The content of this textbook is very dense and has a chock-full of information that covers many types of mental disorders organized by chapter. Highlighting in this textbook was quite tricky because it doesn’t align with where you want to highlight it. Otherwise, it is still useful and does not detract from the content or the ease of reading the textbook.

I didn’t realize it’s not a real book, but simply pages with three holes punched. No other choices were found so I had to stick to it.

The paper quality and printing color is good and I was grateful to be able to purchase this resource to supplement my online course. It was definitely pricey for an unbound book, though. Perhaps part of the cost is the access it entitles you to the online resource. However, that was already provided with my online class so that part of the purchase was a waste, but I couldn’t find any way to purchase the paper book only. I am grateful to have it, but wish the publisher provided an option for either purchasing just a bound book (first choice) or just loose leaf pages without the online access (second choice).
