PSYCHOLOGY
Case Analyses for Abnormal Psychology, second edition uses case studies to explore
the etiology, biology, and dynamics of psychiatric disorders in the DSM-5. Read-

simultaneously reading the personal history of each consumer both before and
during the development of each case. Every case ends with a section on the par-
ticular disorder presented, as viewed from a biological perspective. This updated
edition bridges advances in abnormal psychology and neuroscience in under-
standing mental illness.
