But it remains as unique in its presentation of psychological disorders as the first edition – very humanizing and more multidimensional than most books on abnormal psychology. And it gives readers multiple opportunities to arrive at their own conclusions. This is a text that truly emphasizes learning by doing!""—Alan D. Schmetzer, MD, Professor Emeritus and former Vice-Chair for Education, Department of Psychiatry, Indiana University School of Medicine “Case Analyses provides an ideal framework for developing an enlightened approach to diagnosis and treatment of mental disorder that emphasizes critical thinking, sociocultural sensitivity, and insights about clinical cognitive bias. The work allows students to experience the thinking process of the effective clinician, which should facilitate sound decisions for students trying to decide whether or not to pursue a clinical career. A great contribution to the field.”—Jane S. Halonen, PhD, Professor Psychology, University of West Florida “This timely text of case studies provides a unique entry into the matrix of major psychiatric syndromes with realistic vignettes that describe the impact of emotional illness and also highlights the complexity of diagnosis and treatment as well as social impact that these illnesses create for all. The acknowledgement of biological treatments beautifully illustrates the advancement of psychiatry and the hope for recovery both patients and families may now experience.”— Jeffrey J. Kellams, MD, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Indiana University ""As I have worked as an advocate and support partner with individuals, families, and professionals affected by serious mental illnesses, one thing stands out: in a field sometimes fraught with complexities and confusion, stories and human relationships make a huge difference. Case Analyses for Abnormal Psychology: Learning to Look Beyond the Symptoms will be an invaluable resource for clinicians as they learn to engage the right questions, what makes our brains unique, and how to help people heal.""—Joshua Sprunger, MA, Executive Director, NAMI Indiana" This new edition has been updated to follow DSM-5.
