| Summary: | "This book answers a long felt need for an introductory text on abnormal psychology. It is presented in a germane and lucid style. Each chapter is conveniently outlined and summarized. Moreover, ten figures and ten tables clearly describe the subject at hand. The objectives of the book are essentially to provide a basic orientation to the psychological approach in the study of mental disorders. Attention is focused upon diagnosis of mental processes rather than diagnosis of status. The former is a psychological function, while the latter is a psychiatric responsibility. Designed for students of psychology, social work, education, nursing, and liberal arts, the book also deals with etiological factors and dynamics, underlying habits of human adjustments. In this section emphasis is placed upon assisting the students to apply fundamental facts and principles of good mental health in their own training and living"--Cover.
