Thoroughly integrating DSM-5, the Second Edition of William J Ray′s Abnormal Psychology brings together a range of current perspectives to present complete coverage for understanding mental disorders. In addition to the traditional psychological literature, the book discusses the cognitive and affective neurosciences, ethology, evolution, and genetics. Ray′s focus is on unification and integration of these understandings within a broader consideration. A streamlined organization, up-to-date research, and a wealth of pedagogical tools provide the most engaging examination of psychological disorders.
