Full 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.
