HarperCollins College Outline Abnormal Psychology

First class thumbnail of this sub-discipline. With only a freshman's academic background in general psychology, augmented I guess, by Life's experience, I found this text sufficient preparation for the ECE (formerly ACT/PEP) upper division Abnormal Psychology exam. The content and concepts delineated are made readily accessible by smart organization and lucid prose. A pleasure to read and an easy study for both learner and layman. It helped me to an "A" and three credit hours toward my degree.

I love this whole series (Introduction to Calculus is especially helpful). This book does an excellent job of covering the field of abnormal psychology; it goes into enough detail to provide the reader with a good understanding of the subject without overdoing it. The tables and charts are especially helpful. I highly recommend this book, and the others in the series, to high school and college students as well as anyone interested in a particular topic.
