Hallmark Features

- The core concepts approach: The six core concepts give students a sophisticated framework for understanding psychopathology. The concepts contextualize abnormal behavior in a way that helps students understand, remember, and integrate the material they cover in this course. The core concepts are introduced in Chapter One, and the most relevant concepts are emphasized in each subsequent chapter, providing coherence and continuity throughout the text.
- Writing style: Hansell and Damour write in clear, simple prose making their book suitable for students at all levels. Reviewers have noted that the text is easy to understand, even when covering complex or difficult material. 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: as mixed symptom pictures, which call for integrated, multi-modal treatment strategies, rather than as contrived cases that conform precisely to DSM-IV-TR diagnoses.
- 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 summaries to stimulate review and test preparation.
