Abnormal Psychology: The Human Experience of Psychological Disorders: Updated with Dsm-IV

I'm not a psychology major, so I was a little anxious when I signed up for Abnormal psych (a pre-requisite for the Nursing curriculum). My nervousness was soon allayed after reading the first few pages. The writing style is easy to read, with all the important terms and concepts in the bold print that professeurs love to put on tests. Halgin and Whitbourne even try to make it a little interesting by placing "Mini Case Studies" throughout the chapters to display theory application. A definite addition to a beginning psychologist's collection.
