I used this textbook for my abnormal psychology class in college. It's very easy textbook reading, the chapters are short and straightforward. It's also a pretty interesting book about very basic entry level abnormal psychology.
This book is very informative and well written. I love how the vocabulary words are in the margins. It has been informational especially since the stories relate to incidents with in the last 15 years.
Had to have this one for a class I am taking. It was required. Good book though. I think I will get all my textbooks on my kindle from now on.
the book was so clean and goodI love the way of presenting the information, it is a good manual for a new counselor potential.
This is a really great Abnormal Psych book and a must have for anyone in or pursuing a job in the Abnormal Psych field
The book came as described. I am very happy with product and delivery time!
Needed the book for school, what else can I say
