Hallmark Features
  • The core concepts approach: The six core concepts give students a sophisticated framework for understanding psychopathology and contextualizing abnormal behavior.
  • Writing style: Hansell and Damour write in clear, simple prose making their book suitable for students at all levels.
  • Throughout the book, the writing style and pedagogical elements emphasize meaning over memorization.
  • Case focus: Several case studies are included in each chapter. The authors, both practicing clinicians, use case examples that illustrate how psychopathology appears in real life.
  • Interim Summaries: Interim summaries are used throughout each chapter to enable students to "spot check" their comprehension of the material.
  • Critical thinking questions accompany the Interim Summaries to stimulate review and test preparation.
