Описание книги

In&nbsp;<em>Abnormal Psychology: Perspectives on Human Behavior and Experience Second Edition,&nbsp;</em>William J. Ray brings together current perspectives concerning the manner in which the human mind, behavior, and experience can be understood. In addition to the traditional psychological literature, this book draws from work in the cognitive and affective neurosciences, epidemiology, ethology, and genetics. Ray's focus is on a unification and integration of the biopsychosocial understandings of human behavior within a broader consideration of human culture and language as it applies to abnormal psychology.

Second Edition

Also, in a textbook from the last century, there would not be much written about research studies. The research included would be focused exclusively on studies related directly to abnormal psychology. It would not be connected with the larger human condition and how mental illness is part of our evolutionary history and related to human cognition, emotion, and motor processes. In many ways, the field of abnormal psychology at that time remained disconnected from other areas of psychology as well as the life sciences.

.....

Based on feedback from numerous faculty and researchers in the field, some major structural changes were undertaken in this second edition. Chapters 1 and 2 on the overview of psychopathology and changing conceptualizations of psychopathology throughout history were combined into a single chapter. This allows students to begin learning about specific disorders in a timelier manner. Also, the chapter on schizophrenia has been moved to later in the book. Learning objectives have been added to give students specific goals toward completion of each chapter and mastery of key concepts.

In addition to these structural changes, new feature boxes have been added throughout the book. One of these boxes is Understanding Changes in DSM–5. This feature describes the reasoning behind the changes that were made to specific disorders in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. This feature has been added to all of the chapters that focus on disorders. In addition, when appropriate, a feature box on specific research or statistical terms has been added to certain chapters to help students understand the research presented. Glossary terms have also been updated and clarified.
