Oltmanns and Emery bring both the science and the personal aspects of abnormal psychology to life by emphasizing that abnormal psychology is not about “them,” it's about all of us. Using extensive case studies, they present the most cutting edge information on abnormal psychology by covering methods and treatment in context. Organized around the way students learn, this ground-breaking text integrates the biological, psychological, and social perspectives in one concurrent story.

Treatment—Chapter 3 offers an early overview of treatment, and treatment is then covered in the context of each disorder.

“Research Methods” inserts in every chapter—Allows for more detailed coverage of research methods.

Consistent coverage—Opens with an Overview, followed by Case Studies the Typical Symptoms, and Associated Features, Etiological Considerations and Research, and finally treatment.
- Provides students with a coherent framework and consistent outline across chapters.

NEW - Thoroughly updated material in every chapter—(Ch. 1) A new section on evolutionary psychology, a streamlined and more accessible presentation of the systems approach, an updated account of psychological factors in mental illness and an enhanced discussion of behavior genetics. (Ch. 6) Expanded and updated section on PTSD, over 50 new references including current research on ASD and subclinical ASD as a predictor of future PTSD; the benefits of antidepressants in treating PTSD; the psychological effects of torture. (Ch. 12) New information on schizophrenia and social class and other environmental risk factors, updated information on brain imaging studies, expanded coverage of second generation or “atypical” antipsychotic drugs.
- Provides students with the most current research in the field.

NEW - “Getting Help” feature—Addresses students' personal concerns directly.
- Answers those questions students most often ask instructors after class.

Case Studies—Appear near the beginning of every chapter so that the symptoms and etiological issues are presented in the context of real lives and in their genuine complexity.
- Reminds students that abnormal psychology is about real people. Illustrates for students how ordinary lives are disrupted by mental disorder and how treatment proceeds in fits and starts. Helps students think more deeply about psychological disorders.

Multicultural issues and minority concerns—Include a “Further Thoughts” insert on psychotherapy with minority group members (Ch. 3) and a “Research Methods” insert on cross-cultural studies (Ch. 9).
- Illustrates for students the increasingly diverse population in which they are living and working.
