For nearly four decades, Abnormal Psychology: The Science and Treatment of Psychological Disorders has been a trusted resource for instructors and students. Known for its comprehensive coverage of current research, the book consists of a balance and blending of research and clinical application, and involves the learner in the kinds of real-world problem solving engaged in by clinicians and scientists. Students learn that psychopathology is best understood by considering multiple perspectives which provide the clearest accounting of the causes of these disorders as well as the best possible treatments. This International Adaptation features a new integrated approach, shining a light on psychopathologies’ root causes and most effective treatments by approaching these disorders from multiple, complementary perspectives underscoring that very often biological, cognitive, behavioral, and socioemotional factors are critical to understanding psychological disorders. This edition includes new cases and data from regions such as Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia Pacific which present a more encompassing view of the clinical context for the theories and research that occupy most of our attention in the book.

A REFINED, FOCUSED APPROACH TO LEARNING PSYCHOPATHOLOGY Adapted from the 16th edition of Kring and Johnson's popular text, The Science and Treatment of Psychological Disorders, this Fundamentals version offers a streamlined textbook that maintains the strengths of the traditional text. Johnson and Kring continue to bring to light cutting-edge research, which they balance against clinical understanding. Throughout, they strive to provide clear prose, helpful examples of clinical cases to illustrate symptoms and treatments, and up-to-date scientific coverage of issues that are front and center in current media such as opioids and vaping, and digital mental health. With a shorter, more focused text, the authors give learners a solid foundation in psychopathology. They emphasize an integrative approach, showing how psychopathology is best understood by considering multiple perspectives—biological, cognitive, behavioral, and socio-emotional—and how these varying perspectives can provide us with the clearest accounting of the causes of these disorders. For each disorder, they provide learners with an understanding of the best supported biological and psychological treatments, so that learners come away with the latest science on what “works” and for whom. Critical issues in how race, culture, and country of origin are considered. The final chapter of the book covers important legal and ethical issues in the mental health field. The importance of stigma and mental illness is discussed throughout the book—never is this more important than now when many social ills are too easily blamed on mental illness (e.g., gun violence) while we continue to warehouse people with mental illness in jails at an astonishing rate. AN INTERACTIVE, MULTIMEDIA LEARNING EXPERIENCE This textbook includes access to an interactive, multimedia e-text. Icons throughout the print book signal corresponding digital content in the e-text. Case Study Videos and Pause and Ponder Activities: A collection of fourteen 7- to 10-minute Case Study Videos presents an encompassing view of a variety of psychological disorders, featuring people experiencing these disorders and their family members describing symptoms from their own perspective. In addition, each video provides concise information about the available treatment options and commentary from a mental health professional. Each video is presented in the context of a Pause and Ponder activity with the following elements: Part I: Pause: Readers are asked to read several short examples of everyday life situations facing a person, or people, with a particular disorder and asses their own ability to empathize. Part II: Learn: Readers are directed to view the Case Study Video and answer a series of questions with interactive self-scoring. Part III: Ponder: Finally, readers are asked to respond to one or more open-ended questions and to reassess their ability to empathize. Concept and Topic Videos: In early chapters, short videos complement the reading with broad overviews of important concepts like the scientific method, the importance of reliability and validity in research, etc. In later chapters, these short videos are designed to draw students in and provide a general overview of the disorders and treatments they will read about and study. Instructor's Resources include brief, open-ended question sets for use with these videos that ask questions to stimulate students' curiosity like “What did the video confirm about your prior understanding of...? What did the video challenge about your prior understanding of...? Did anything surprise you, if so, what? What are you curious to learn more about concerning...?” Interactive Figures, Charts & Tables: Appearing throughout the enhanced e-text, interactive figures, process diagrams, and tables facilitate the study of complex concepts and processes and help students retain important information. Even many of the simplest figures are interactive to encourage online readers to pause and absorb the information they present before scrolling on to additional reading. Interactive Self-Scoring Check Your Knowledge Questions and Practice Quizzes: Students can check their answers to the Check Your Knowledge questions at the end of each major chapter section instantly, and each chapter includes a self-scoring Practice Quiz to help prepare for graded assignments and exams.

Regardless of their specific diagnosis, many people seeking treatment for psychological problems have some form of difficulty in managing emotional experiences. This state-of-the-art volume explores how emotion regulation mechanisms are implicated in the etiology, development, and maintenance of psychopathology. Leading experts present current findings on emotion regulation difficulties that cut across diagnostic boundaries and present psychotherapeutic approaches in which emotion regulation is a primary target of treatment. Building crucial bridges between research and practice, chapters describe cutting-edge assessment and intervention models with broad clinical utility, such as acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and behavioral activation treatment.

"The focus of this book has always been on the balancing and blending of research and clinical application and on the effort to involve the learner in the problem solving engaged in by clinicians and scientists. We continue to emphasize an integrated approach, showing how psychopathology is best understood by considering multiple perspectives and how these varying perspectives can provide us with the clearest accounting of the causes of these disorders as well as the best possible treatments. With the fifteenth edition, we have once again emphasized the recent and comprehensive research coverage that has been the hallmark of the book. Of equal importance, however, we have worked to make the prose ever more accessible to a variety of students"--
