For undergraduate courses in Abnormal Psychology
It's not them, it's all of us
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.

Oltmanns & Emery,
Abnormal Psychology, 6/E
Q: How do you cover treatment in your class? Do you think it helps students to know something about treatment before learning about different disorders?
A: Oltmanns/Emery not only has a stand alone chapter on treatment (chapter 3), but we also integrate treatment into the disorder chapter where it is most relevant. Every disorder is discussed in the same framework- symptoms, diagnosis, frequency, causes, and finally treatment (pg. 237)
Q: How do you support students' critical thinking? Would you like additional tools to help your students to think critically?
A: Instructors repeatedly tell us that they want a text to help students to think critically. Encouraging students to be inquiring skeptics when it comes to abnormal psychology – and living their lives, critical thinking is throughout the text.
- A new and engaging feature, Critical Thinking Matters: appears in every chapter, and take on “urban legends” of one sort or another, for example, “recovered memory therapy” (pg. 230), “facilitated communication,” and whether vaccinations really cause autism (pg. 50). Critical thinking matters not only to science but also to how students view themselves.
Q: Do some students come to you with personal questions about their or friends' emotional well being? Do you think other many students have similar questions but are too shy to ask?
A: Introduced in the last edition, Getting Help answers many of the questions that students come into the class with about themselves, friends, or loved ones. These Getting Help sections provide responsible, empirically sound, and concrete guidance on numerous personal topics which include:
1. eating disorders, pg. 342
2. PTSD, pg. 246
3. Mood disorders and suicide, pg. 171
Q: How do you cover research methods in your course? Do you view an understanding of research methods as important to critically understand abnormal psychology?
A: Oltmanns/Emery integrates RM into the text where most appropriate in a set aside box (pg. 296, Cross Cultural Comparisons). Students tend to find this material dry and out of context. By integrating it, students have a better understanding of its relevance and importance.
FEATURES:
Treatment: Chapter 3 offers an early overview of treatment, and treatment is then covered in the context of each disorder.
NEW! Critical Thinking Matters: covered in every chapter. Addresses the need for students to think critically about science (and pseudoscience), especially in the Internet Age. Encouraging students to be "inquiring skeptics" this feature focuses on both the research and treatments within abnormal psychology.
Getting Help: Also covered in every chapter, this feature addresses students' personal concerns and begins to answer the sorts of questions students may be too shy to ask.
Research Methods in every chapter: allows for a more detailed coverage of research methods by making the material more manageable, more focused, and more relevant through the chapter content connection.
Consistent chapter outline: each chapter opens with an Overview followed by one or two extended Case Studies, followed by symptoms, diagnosis, frequency, causes, and finally, treatment. Each chapter covers the key details of DSM-IV-TR throughout.
Case studies: take the reader along the human journey of abnormal disorders. Case studies appear as extended studies in the beginning of each chapter, in briefer cases later in the chapter, and in first-person accounts throughout the narrative.
