USED

This may be a new book as it has no markings and a Mind Map CD that was never removed from the jacket and is attached to the back page, but I am selling as used just to be sure. There is only a few scuffs on the hardcover corners from storage.

SynopsisAuthored

by award-winning teacher and noted researcher Susan Nolen-Hoeksema,

this text blends cutting-edge research in psychopathology with

compassion for people who suffer from psychological disorders. Capturing

the excitement of major advances in biological and psychosocial

research and treatment alternatives, Abnormal Psychology Media and

Research Update imparts a true enthusiasm for and appreciation of

scientific investigation. The author's scientific and caring approach,

combined with strong study tools, has won accolades from instructors and

students alike. This Media and Research Update includes Faces

Interactive Case Studies, which link information about disorders covered

in the text to Face Interactive Online, integrating the audio visual

resources to the written text. The text continues to place great

emphasis on an integrated approach to abnormal psychology, on making

biological information clear to students, and on providing a strong

focus on empirical research and diversity.
