Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Accessible Storytelling

Approach and Empirically

Supported Research

Te seventh edition o Abnormal Psychology ocuses onproviding an accurate understandable concise and up-to-date view o this rapidly evolving field In particular wehave taken a thorough look at the literature and synthesized

the inormation to provide the most relevant theories andresearch or you to study We have added new eatures togive you an appreciation or the ethical issues that conrontmental health proessionals and the current controversies inthe field around changes in the diagnostic system ldquoYou Bethe Judgerdquo presents you with controversial ethical questionsspecific to the content o the chapter ldquoWhatrsquos New in the

DSM-5rdquo eature summarizes the changes rom DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 We have also revised each chapter based on

principles o what is called ldquoevidence-based treatmentrdquoTese eatures will give you a contemporary view o thefield as it is now and will also provide you with a solid basisor understanding how this ever-changing field continues toprogress In writing the seventh edition we have significantlysharpened the ocus o each chapter to provide you with as vibrant a picture as possible o this remarkable field inpsychology I yoursquove seen a previous edition you will notice

a distinct change that while still ocused on ldquotalking to thestudentrdquo does so in a way that re1047298ects the learning style otodayrsquos students We realize that students take many credithours and that each course (particularly in psychology)seems to be getting increasingly demanding Tereore wewant you to be able to grasp the material in the leastamount o time but with similar depth as students ound inour previous editions

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

Whatrsquos New in the DSM-5

Schizophrenia Subtypes and Dimensional Ratings

The DSM-5 authors implemented major changes in their approach to diagnosingschizophrenia As we mentioned at the beginning of the chapter they eliminatedthe subtypes of schizophrenia Instead using a scale that is in Section 3 cliniciansassign a diagnosis of schizophrenia to which they can add a rating of the individualrsquossymptoms along a set of dimensions as Table 63 shows By eliminating the subtypes of schizophrenia the DSM-5 authors sought to

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people

improve both the diagnostic reliability and validity of the system They also soughtto have a more quantifiable basis for research on the disorderrsquos causes as well asfor treatment planning For example a clinician evaluating the results of cognitive-behavioral therapy could use the ratings of hallucination and delusion severityto determine whether the intervention is reducing the specific symptoms towardwhich they are targeting treatment The DSM-5 authors also decided to include cognitive impairment as adimension in the Section 3 severity ratings given the importance of cognitivedeficits in current understandings of the individualrsquos ability to carry out social andoccupational activities and to carry out the tasks involved in everyday living In thisregard a neuropsychological assessment could inform the diagnostic process(Reichenberg 2010) The DSM-5 authors considered but decided not to eliminate schizoaffectivedisorder as a separate entity Although not there yet the DSM-5 authors believe that clinicians will eventuallydiagnose schizophrenia as a ldquospectrumrdquo disorder This would mean potentially that

even diagnoses long in use in psychiatry would disappear including schizophreniformdisorder schizoaffective disorder and the two personality disorders associated withschizophrenic-like symptoms The current system in the DSM-5 represents a step in moving away from theold categorization system and toward the dimensional approach By includingseverity ratings rather than subtypes in Section 3 they are making it possible forclinicians and researchers to track individuals over time in a quantifiable fashion

You Be the Judge

Psychiatric Neurosurgery

As we discussed in Chapter 4 psychiatric neurosurgery is i ncreasingly being usedto give clinicians a tool for controlling the symptoms of obsessive-compulsivedisorder However to what extent is surgical intervention justifiable to control theexistence of psychological symptoms Moreover this surgery is not reversibleThe debate over psychosurgery goes back to the mid-twentieth century whenphysician Walter Freeman traveled around the country performing approximately18000 leucotomies in which he severed the frontal lobes from the rest of thebrain to control the unmanageable behaviors of psychiatric patients The idea was

that by severing the frontal lobes from the limbic system the patients would nolonger be controlled by their impulses As was true in the early twentieth century when clinicians employed lobotomies tomanage otherwise intractable symptoms of psychiatric patients is it possible thatfuture generations will look upon cingulotomies and similar interventions as excessivelypunitive and even barbaric On the other hand with symptoms that are so severe anddisabling is any method that can control them to be used even if imperfect Gillett (2011) raised these issues regarding the use of current psychosurgeriesBy altering the individualrsquos brain through such radical techniques psychiatrists aretampering with a complex system of interactions that make up the individualrsquospersonality Just because they ldquoworkrdquo and because no other methods arecurrently available does this justify making permanent changes to the individualrsquosbrain The victims of the leucotomies performed by Freeman ldquoimprovedrdquo in thattheir behavior became more docile but they were forever changed

Q You be the judge Is it appropriate to transform the person using permanentmethods whose basis for effectiveness cannot be scientifically established AsGillett concludes ldquoburn heat poke freeze shock cut stimulate or otherwiseshake (but not stir) the brain and you will affect the psycherdquo (p 43)

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

How Will You Study

ldquoAbnormalrdquo Human

Behavior

Te field o abnormal psychology covers the ull spectrumo human behavior throughout the lie span From inancythrough later adulthood the process o developmentpropels us through a vast range o experiences Some o

these experiences invariably include encounters withdistressing emotions behaviors inner experiences andinteractions with other people Tere is no sharp dividingline between ldquonormalrdquo and ldquoabnormalrdquo as you will learn inthis book nor do people spend their entire lives in one orthe other o these realms Abnormal psychology is particularly ascinating becauseit re1047298ects so many possible variations in human behaviorparticularly as these evolve over time in an individualrsquos lieLearning about abnormal psychology can be a goal or you

in and o itsel but you more than likely will find yourseldrawn to its practical applications as a basis or learninghow to help others Whether or not you decide to enter ahelping proession however you will find knowledge o thisfield useul in whatever proession you decide to pursue aswell as your everyday lie

Clinical Perspectives on

Psychological Disorders

Te subtitle o this seventh edition Clinical Perspectives onPsychological Disorders re1047298ects the emphasis in each o theprior editions on the experience o clients and clinicians intheir efforts to acilitate each individualrsquos maximumunctioning We present an actual case study at thebeginning o each chapter that typifies the disorders in thatchapter At the end o the chapter we return to the casestudy with the outcome o a prescribed treatment on thebasis o the best available evidence Troughout the chapterwe translate the symptoms o each disorder into terms that

capture the core essence o the disorder Our philosophy isthat students should be able to appreciate the undamentalnature o each disorder without necessarily having tomemorize diagnostic criteria In that way students can gaina basic understanding that will serve them well regardlesso their ultimate proessional goals

The Biopsychosocial Approach

An understanding o psychological disorders requires anintegrative approach particularly as researchers begin tounderstand increasingly the connections among themultiple dimensions that in1047298uence people throughout lie

We are adopting the biopsychosocial approachmdashincorporating biological psychological and socioculturalcontributions to psychological disorders Neuroscienceresearch is increasingly becoming relevant to theunderstanding o psychopathology but at the same time soare issues related to social context including diversity osocial class race and ethnicity Tese actors combine incomplex ways and throughout the book we explain howthey apply to particular psychological disorders

The Life-Span Approach

Individuals grow and change throughout lie and we eelthat it is essential to capture the developmental dimensionin helping students understand the evolution opsychological disorders over time Tereore we haveincorporated research and theories that provide relevantunderstandings o how the disorders that we cover emergeand modulate rom childhood through adulthood We alsoemphasize the interactive and reciprocal effects o ldquonaturerdquo(genetics) and ldquonurturerdquo (the environment) as contributorsto psychological disorders

The Human Experience of

Psychological Disorders

Above all the study o abnormal psychology is the study oprooundly human experiences o this end we havedeveloped a biographical eature entitled ldquoReal Storiesrdquo You will read narratives rom the actual experiences ocelebrities sports figures politicians authors musiciansand artists ranging rom Beethoven to Herschel WalkerEach Real Story is written to provide insight into theparticular disorder covered within the chapter By readingthese ascinating biographical pieces you will come awaywith a more in-depth personal perspective to use inunderstanding the nature o the disorder

The Scientist-Practitioner Framework

We have developed this text using a scientist-practitionerramework In other words you will read about researchinormed by clinical practice We present research ontheories and treatments or each o the disorders based onthe principles o ldquoevidence-based practicerdquo Tis means thatthe approaches that we describe are tested throughextensive research inormed by clinical practice Manyresearchers in the field o abnormal psychology also treatclients in their own private offi ces hospitals or grouppractices As a result they approach their work in the lab

with the knowledge that their findings can ultimatelyprovide real help to real people
