Abnormal Psychology and Life: A Dimensional Approach 2nd Edition by Chris Kearney

Chris Kearney and Tim Trull’s ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY AND LIFE: A DIMENSIONAL APPROACH provides students with a concise, contemporary, science-based view of psychopathology that emphasizes the individual first and the disorder second. Through consistent pedagogy featuring clinical cases and real first-person narratives, the text illuminates our understanding that abnormal behavior�rather than being either present or absent�exists in everyone to some degree on a continuum from normal to pathological. By highlighting this widely accepted dimensional view�which places the behavior of an individual at the forefront of clinical assessment, prevention, definition, and treatment�the text’s goal is to encourage students to become intelligent consumers of mental health information.
