Description
Fully updated and revised, the tenth edition of this bestselling textbook introduces clinical psychology as a bridge between science and practice. Featuring over 1000 new references, the revised text includes additional coverage of digital mental health, diversity, and identity, and the practice of evidence-based clinical science. Coverage of such topics as emerging models for clinical training and accreditation, new approaches to diagnosing and classifying mental illness, and changes in healthcare legislation ensure that students will understand the very latest trends in the subject. The pedagogical focus of previous editions is maintained. 'Thinking Scientifically' sections in each chapter break down how to evaluate conflicting findings and use them to draw conclusions, while clinical vignettes bring concepts and theories to life. 'In Review' tables at the end of each major section prompt students to review material and test their comprehension. The text is accompanied by a full suite of online teaching supports.
Reviews / Votes
'Now in its tenth edition, Introduction to Clinical Psychology, authored by four internationally known leaders in the field, clearly sets the standard for textbooks on this topic. Full of interesting clinical vignettes as well as a very valuable section focused on resolving conflicting findings, entitled 'Thinking Scientifically,' this book provides a full and complete picture of the fascinating profession of clinical psychology. Must-reading for all students thinking of entering the health professions.' David Barlow, Boston University 'I've used previous editions and have been very pleased with the balance of science and application, which is the core of empirically based clinical psychology. This new revision continues to provide a thoughtful and pedagogically sound introduction to clinical psychology for undergraduate students. Indeed, it would be suitable as well for beginning graduate students. It is well organized and clearly written, in an engaging way. I look forward to adopting it.' Gerald Davison, University of Southern California 'Introduction to Clinical Psychology is the most comprehensive and interesting text in the area and the tenth edition does not disappoint. With the tragic death of Scott Lilienfeld, Professor Andres De Los Reyes joins Professors Bernstein, Teachman, and Olatunji in the most recent update of this marvelous text. The authors are among the best and brightest in the field and their text is informative and interesting to read. Firmly grounded in an empirical approach, the text covers the history of clinical psychology through diagnostics, assessment, and treatment. It is a superb compendium from clinical scholars at the top of the field and the best introduction to clinical psychology that I have seen.' Steven Hollon, Vanderbilt UniversityMore details
