Product Description
Review
I appreciated the inclusion of Canadian cultural influences such as the focus on the mental health of Canadian Aboriginal peoples…The addition of an Applied Clinical Case is good…Illustrations that quote the thoughts and words of those experiencing a mood disorder are very enlightening, interesting and helpful…A good, solid, well-written text…I like the competent and thorough changes Dozois has made.
- Mary Manson, University of Guelph
The text is clearly written, has good examples and case studies, is balanced in its approach (does not favour one theory of causation over another, does not push for one particular therapy over another), and uses plenty of Canadian content.
- Cat Baron, Police and Public Safety Institute
The inclusion of Applied Clinical Cases, tables of DSM-IV-TR criteria, and experimental treatments present distinct advantages over other abnormal psychology texts…Excellent, a must for Canadian students.
- Assen Alladin, University of Calgary
The most important thing for me is that it is a Canadian text by Canadian authors who are experts in their respective areas. The text is well written, rigorous in its approach, and covers important topics in a way students understand…I plan to continue using it because I like it and my students like it.
- Professor, University of Northern British Columbia

OK for limited use,
This review is from: Abnormal Psychology: Perspectives with MyPsychKit (Hardcover)
The wording of the book is confusing. The authors go off on unrelated tangents and do not link these concepts back to the book. There are unnecessary categories which do not seem to serve any purpose and for which the reasoning is not explained. Sometimes, the authors start to explain a concept and then do not finish, which leaves me to wonder if the concept is important in the first place. It complicates the fairly straightforward material. If you are able to reorganize the information provided, it is a useful book. Otherwise the important information can quickly become lost in the midst of bad writing and poor organization.
