This was one of the first texts to adopt a systems approach, integrating biological, psychological, and social theories to explain abnormal behaviour. The authors bring both the science and the personal aspects of abnormal psychology to life in this second Canadian edition, answering pressing intellectual and human questions as accurately, sensitively, and completely as possible. It is an engaging, yet rigorous treatment of the topics and disorders of abnormal psychology, highly regarded for presenting scientific methods clearly. Methodology is explained in bite-size pieces throughout the chapters rather than in a single, difficult-to-read chapter. Detailed case studies open each chapter and historical background information is provided to give students interesting, “real-life” examples of abnormal behaviour. In addition, each chapter follows a consistent organization, including major sections on typical symptoms/features, classification, epidemiology, etiology, and treatment.

New concept maps visually link major concepts, to help give students a clear picture of the key ideas within each chapter. The aim of the authors is to bring a much-needed Canadian perspective to the study of Abnormal Psychology. They want to increase awareness of the important, relevant research that has been done and is continuing to be conducted in Canada today. The new second edition builds on the strength of the first by continuing to incorporate Canadian cases and examples of mental illness, to highlight cultural factors, current topics, unique Canadian treatment or prevention programs, and mental health legislation.

Butcher's Abnormal Psychology, has long been considered one of the most authoritative and comprehensive texts in the field. This edition presents the most current and in-depth information about biological influences on the entire spectrum of behavioural abnormalities. It also includes multicultural studies and phenomena, which offer an integrative view. Extensive case studies of individuals with various disorders are included throughout; some are brief excerpts, others are detailed analyses. These cases bring disorders to life, and remind students of the human factor that is so intimately a part of the subject matter of this text. The abundance of research discoveries surfacing in the field today has broadened our understanding of psychopathology, improving upon therapies and treatments practiced just a decade ago. The goal of this book is, and always has been, to present to students these exciting discoveries and to offer the most thoroughly researched and up-to-date analyses of psychopathology. The First Canadian edition of Abnormal Psychology has been thoroughly updated with hundreds of new research references, many of those citing first class Canadian research, to accurately reflect the ever-changing field, the prevalence of disorders and the treatment programs offered in Canada today.

Adopting the same accessible and practical perspective on the discipline, the book focuses on the core responsibilities of people management which every manager will have to undertake and understand. A section on skills such as interviewing, coaching and performance appraisal supports this practical approach.
