"This is a clear, well-written textbook that describes a range of
psychological disorders and their associated treatment. The layout
of this book is excellent. Case illustrations and major experiments
are allocated separate shaded boxes, and invariably attract the
reader's attention. This book provides an interesting, concise
overview of the different topics in abnormal psychology. It is a
welcome addition to the Blackwell Series on Basic Psychology
and achieves its goal of providing accessible information about the
core area, whilst also conveying the flavour and excitement of the
subject." Padmal de Silva. Behavior Research and
Therapy
'Neil Frude writes in a very clear and precise manner
which treats the subject material in a systematic and scientific
way, while leaving it accessible to the reader who may be new to
psychology. This book will be an excellent and welcome addition to
teaching resources for abnormal psychology.' -
