Book Overview

Ron Comer's brief text opens the doors of this inherently fascinating field in an eye-opening, provocative, and yet, human way--taking a subject so familiar to students from movies, television, and fiction, and showing the real drama, the real science, and the real stakes for patients and their loved ones.

One of the best textbooks I have ever used.

Abnormal Psych. by Dr. Comer is without a doubt one of the best textbooks I have ever used. Why? There are a number of reasons. (1) This book has one author, so therefore the book speaks with one voice. Professors who wish to write books need to heed the adage "too many cooks spoil the soup." I am glad Dr. Comer did because he has written a text that is easy to follow, concept by concept. (2) With regard to concepts: Many professors write textbooks as if other professors will be reading them. Not Dr. Comer. This text is not only appropriate for the graduate student, the unininitiated will benefit from this book as well. He uses lean prose, simple-to-understand language and synatx. (3) Dr. Comer's book is very logically structured. He presents each psychopathology, looks at it from each perspective, e.g. psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, existential, etc., then he outlines how each school of thought would deal with the issue. The vignettes sprinkled throughout each chapter are very informative. A nice supplement. I bought this book in order to get a handle on some of the principles of abnormal psych. before I take a graduate psychopathology course this fall. Not having had abnormal psych at the undergraduate or graduate level, I was looking for a text that would "bring me up to speed," before I start class this fall. Thanks to Dr. Comer, I'll be ready!
