Abnormal Psychology Global Edition 18th Edition

Abnormal Psychology, Eighteenth Edition — Global Edition by Jill M. Hooley, Matthew K. Nock, and James N. Butcher — Published by Pearson

Abnormal Psychology provides a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the primary psychological disorders studied within the discipline. Maintaining a focus on the individuals at the heart of the study of abnormal psychology, the authors employ a biopsychosocial approach that helps students achieve an understanding of the holistic context in which abnormalities of behavior occur. The 18th Edition reflects the newest and most relevant research findings, presented in ways designed to be as engaging as possible to the next generation of students.

The 18th Edition covers the most up-to-date topics in the field, including gender dysphoria, paraphilic disorders and the latest applications of brain imaging techniques. "Developments in Research," "Developments in Thinking," and "Developments in Practice" features highlight current events and the latest research methodologies and findings, while "Unresolved Issues" features demonstrate how far the field has come and how far there is yet to go in understanding psychological disorders.

The Global Edition has been specifically adapted by Pearson's editorial team to include content especially relevant to students outside the United States, making it one of the most internationally comprehensive abnormal psychology resources available.
