Abnormal Psychology: An Integrative Approach, Eighth Edition by David H. Barlow, V. Mark Durand, and Stefan G. Hofmann is the most widely used abnormal psychology textbook in the world — the definitive resource for understanding psychological disorders through an integrative, multidimensional lens. Published by Cengage Learning and authored by internationally recognized experts in the field, this landmark text shows students how psychological disorders are rooted in multiple interacting factors: biological, psychological, cultural, social, familial, and even political.
The integrative approach that defines this text challenges students to think beyond single-cause explanations for psychological disorders, instead developing a sophisticated, multidimensional understanding that reflects the complexity of real clinical presentations. Built-in concept checks and chapter quizzes allow students to test their understanding of topics throughout each chapter, promoting active learning and exam readiness.
The 8th Edition provides thoroughly updated coverage of all major diagnostic categories, fully aligned with the DSM-5 and reflecting the most current research in psychopathology, neuroscience, and evidence-based treatment. International perspectives, cultural considerations, and the latest neurobiological research are integrated throughout, preparing students for the realities of culturally competent clinical practice.
Key topics include: research methods in abnormal psychology, clinical assessment, anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma and stress-related disorders, somatic disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, substance-related disorders, sexual dysfunctions and paraphilias, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, personality disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and neurocognitive disorders. Essential for undergraduate and graduate abnormal psychology courses and for students preparing for NCMHCE, CACREP-aligned licensure, and clinical psychology doctoral programs.
