Book Description:
Review Kudos to editor Thomas G. Plante for attempting to help bring psychology and psychological practice into the new millennium.... The overall value of these three volumes is undisputed.... All of the chapters are well written and easily understood by any graduate student or practicing clinician. Most authors illustrate their positions with carefully selected vignettes, and most include useful references.PsycCRITQUES Prepared with the educated lay reader in mind, this three-volume set presents 37 articles brought together by Plante who sought to avoid the jargon-filled, data-driven writing found in much of the academic literature and to communicate knowledge on abnormal behavior that draws on up-to-date research and practice evidence.SciTech Book News Product Description Tragically, the daily news is filled with stories about hurtful and seemingly mystifying problems in human behavior. Each morning we face news stories about murder, suicide, drunken driving accidents, child molestation, drug abuse, gambling, criminal behavior, and so forth. The cover stories of news magazines from TIME and Newsweek to U.S. News and World Report often focus on abnormal psychology and behavior connected to these particular topics, as well as to autism, child hyperactivity, depression, eating disorders, and more. In these volumes, experts in their respective fields draw together compelling chapters on the abnormal psychology and resulting behaviors that are today most often and most dramatically at issue in our world, including such topics as "workaholism." Written with accessibility in mind, the set is intended to bridge the gap between research monographs and self-help books, to give layreaders and students solid and up to date information without having to translate jargon-heavy text. Most people today are impacted by abnormal behavior or mental illness in some way. Some suffer from their own mental disorders or live with someone who does. Others have been victimized by people experiencing abnormal psychology, including the 20% of American women and 15% of American men reporting they were sexually abused as children. Mental illness and abnormal behavior touches all of us. This set can help us cope.
