I learned a lot. This was for a class, obvs, so Idk enough about psych to give a good review on this book. I had a lot of fun in the class, and this book was relatively easy to annotate and read through.
I didn't actually read the entire thing, just what was required for the class. I'm only keeping this on GR for record-keeping and if you have a problem with that, I don't particularly care lol
This book explains in depth the disorders outlined in the DSM IV. It explores some of the controversies around diagnosis in psychology as well. It taps into the following disorders: anxiety, dissociative, somatoform, mood, suicide, substance abuse, substance dependence, eating, sleep, gender and sexuality, schizophrenia, psychotic, personality, impulse control, childhood, and disorders related to aging.
There is a lot of great info in this book about the different disorder's that there are. Be careful though, you might think that you have some of these disorders.
Normally I do not add textbooks. Yet, being academically obligated to read this bastard, cover-to-cover, over the last year cost me my reading challenge of 2018. So, it's head I mount on the wall.
For a textbook, I found this book very enjoyable. The writing was clear and concise, there were minimal spelling and grammar issues, and the layout is very reader-friendly. I actually will probably keep this book to use in practice down the road.
This is really a excellent book to understand what is actully mean of psychology and what is its application i really enjoyd this book to read and i will want to share this book to everyone
