Abnormal Psychology An Integrative Approach 6th Edition

Abnormal Psychology: An Integrative Approach, Sixth Canadian Edition by David H. Barlow, V. Mark Durand, Stefan G. Hofmann, and Martin L. Lalumière — Published by Nelson/Cengage Canada

The sixth Canadian edition of Abnormal Psychology continues its groundbreaking integrative approach to delivering the most modern, scientifically valid method for studying abnormal psychology through its balance of biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors. The author team blends sophisticated research and an accessible writing style with the most widely recognized method of discussing psychopathology. Going beyond simply describing different schools of thought on psychological disorders, the authors explore the interactions of the various forces that contribute to psychopathology. Revised to be lighter and easier to comprehend, the conversational writing style and consistent pedagogical elements of this text — as well as integrated case studies (95 percent from the authors' own files) and additional study tools — make this the most comprehensive resource on Abnormal Psychology available.

David H. Barlow is Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Psychiatry at Boston University and recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Psychological Association. V. Mark Durand is Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of South Florida. Stefan G. Hofmann is a Boston University professor and among the world's leading researchers in cognitive-behavioral therapy, having published over 300 peer-reviewed journal articles. Martin L. Lalumière, the Canadian addition to this author team, is a professor at the University of Guelph recognized for his work in forensic psychology, sexual offending, and psychopathology. Together, they offer students both the rigor of internationally recognized scholarship and the Canadian context essential to understanding abnormal behavior in this country.
