Why Do You Need This New Edition? If you’re wondering why you should buy this new edition of Abnormal Psychology, here are 7 good reasons! 1. The 15th edition includes the most up-to-date information about many of the proposed changes to the DSM that are expected in DSM-5. NEW highlight boxes now describe these changes in a readily accessible format. 2. The most up-to-date information about biological, psychological, and sociocultural influences on abnormal behavior are included and thoughtfully integrated into a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach. Coverage of multicultural issues has also been expanded. 3. NEW Unresolved Issues feature discusses current concerns about the early treatment of people at clinical high risk for schizophrenia, the use of marijuana for medical purposes, and the increasing use of cognitive enhancers to improve functioning in healthy people (e.g., students using Ritalin to do better on tests). These are designed to provoke discussion and increase critical thinking. 4. Other additions include NEW highlight boxes describing interventions being used by the U.S. military to prevent PTSD and new research showing how playing Tetris might prevent flashbacks in people who experience traumatic events. 5. Most chapters now begin with a Case Study to engage students’ attention right from the outset. Many NEW case studies have also been added. Changes made to the organization of chapters now improve the flow of the writing and enhance learning. 6. In Review Questions appear at the end of major sections within chapters, providing regular opportunities for self-assessment and reinforcement of learning. 7. Hundreds of NEW references have been added to reflect the ever-changing field of abnormal psychology! This page intentionally left blank  15 edition Abnormal Psychology James N.

Developments in areas such as genetics, brain imaging, behavioral observation, and classification, as well changes in social and government policy and in legal decisions, add to our knowledge base and stimulate new treatments for those whose lives are touched by mental disorders. This is exciting. But the rapid progress of our field also presents its own chal- lenges. One of the most important is how best to provide students with an integrated perspective— one that respects new ideas and discoveries and places them into the existing body of knowledge in a way that emphasizes multiple perspectives, provokes thought, and increases awareness. We use a biopsychosocial approach to provide a sophisticated appreciation of the total context in which abnormalities of behavior occur. For ease of understanding we also present material on each disorder in a logical and consistent way. More specifically, we focus on three significant aspects: (1) the clinical picture, where we describe the symptoms of the disorder and its associated features; (2) factors involved in the development of the disorder; and (3) treatment approaches. In each case, we examine the evidence for biological, psychosocial (i.e., psychologi- cal and interpersonal), and sociocultural (the broader social environment of culture and subcul- ture) influences. Because we wish never to lose sight of the person, however, we try to integrate as much case material as we can into each chapter. An additional feature of this book is a focus on treatment. Although treatment is discussed in every chapter in the context of specific disor- ders, we also include a separate chapter that addresses issues in treatment more broadly. This provides students with increased understanding of a wide range of treatment approaches and permits more in-depth coverage than is possible in specific disorder–based chapters. The Butcher-Mineka-Hooley author team is in a unique position to provide students with an integrated and comprehensive understanding of abnormal psychology. Each author is a noted re- searcher, an experienced teacher, and a practicing clinician. Each brings different areas of expertise and diverse research interests to the textbook. Importantly, these different perspectives come together in a systematically integrated text that is accessible to a broad audience. The depth and breadth of the author team provides students with learning experiences that can take them to new levels of understanding. Our approach emphasizes the importance of research as well as the need to translate research findings into informed and effective clinical care for all who suffer from mental disorders. Abnormal Psychology has a long and distinguished tradition as an undergraduate text. Ever since James Coleman wrote the first edition many years ago, this textbook has been considered the most comprehensive in the field. Along the way there have been many changes. However, the com- mitment to excellence in this now-classic textbook has remained ever constant. In this new edition, we seek to open up the fascinating world of abnormal psychology, providing students with com- prehensive and up-to-date knowledge in an accessible and engaging way. We hope that this newest edition conveys some of the passion and enthusiasm for the topic that we still experience every day. What’s New The 15th edition of Abnormal Psychology provides a current and fresh perspective. The book has been redesigned to remain visually engaging to a new generation of students. Most chapters now begin with a case study that illustrates the mental health problems to be addressed in the xxi xxii PREFACE chapter. This serves to capture students’ interest and attention right from the outset. Numerous new photographs and illustrations have also been added. In addition, this edition also contains updated case material (four new case studies in Chapter 5 alone), new unresolved issues (e.g., the medical use of marijuana; the increasing use of cognitive enhancers to improve functioning in healthy people), and new feature boxes designed to be of high interest to students (e.g., Does playing Tetris after a traumatic event reduce flashbacks?). Reflecting the ever-changing field of abnormal psychology, hundreds of new references have been added. Outdated material has been replaced, current findings have been included, and new developments have been identified. The 15th edition also includes the most up-to-date and in-depth information about the role of biological factors in abnormal behavior, while at the same time placing this in the context of a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach. Our coverage of cultural issues and diversity has also been strengthened. Readers will be also be pleased to know that all of this has been accomplished without adding length to the book! A major change in this new edition is the focus on DSM-5. This important revision to the diagnostic system is scheduled to be published in 2013. Anticipating this, we now include spe- cialized feature boxes highlighting many of the changes that are likely to be made in DSM-5. Other important changes that are expected in DSM-5 are also mentioned throughout the text when relevant and necessary. Providing students with this material ahead of the publication of DSM-5 reflects our commitment to staying ahead of the curve and our desire to provide students with the most up-to-date information possible. Features and Pedagogy The extensive research base and accessible organization of this book are supported by high- interest features and helpful pedagogy to further engage students and support learning. Features FEATURE BOXES Special sections, called Developments in Research, Developments in Thinking, Developments in Practice, and The World Around Us, highlight topics of particular interest, focusing on ap- plications of research to everyday life, current events, and the latest research methodologies, technologies, and findings. Several new topics are introduced in this edition.  PREFACE xxiii For example, a new highlight box describes the use of virtual reality therapy to treat post- traumatic stress disorder in veterans of the Iraq war. Another new highlight box describes ef- forts by the fashion industry to prevent emaciated models from walking the catwalks at some of fashion’s most high-profile events. UNRESOLVED ISSUES All chapters include end-of-chapter sections that demonstrate how far we have come and how far we have yet to go in our understanding of psychological disorders. The topics cov- ered here provide insight into the future of the field. New to this edition is a discussion of the problems associated with the diagnostic criteria for eating disorders. In another chapter, we highlight the current controversy surrounding the definition of traumatic events and the diagnostic criteria for PTSD. Pedagogy CHAPTER OUTLINE Each chapter begins with a detailed outline that introduces the content and provides an over- view of what is to come. This, along with the extensive chapter summary found at the end of each chapter, is an excellent tool for study and review. In this edition, sections of many chap- ters have been reorganized. These changes have been made to improve the flow of the writing and enhance pedagogy. CASE STUDIES Extensive case studies of individuals with various disorders are integrated in the text throughout the book. Some are brief excerpts; others are detailed analyses. These cases bring important aspects of the disorders to life. They also remind readers that the problems of ab- normal psychology affect the lives of people—people from all kinds of diverse backgrounds who have much in common with all of us. IN REVIEW QUESTIONS Questions appear at the end of each major section within the chapter, providing regular op- portunities for self-assessment as students read and further reinforce their learning. xxiv PREFACE DSM-IV-TR BOXES Throughout the book these boxes detail the essential criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders for the disorders discussed. In a convenient and visually accessible form, they provide a helpful study tool that reflects current diagnostic practice. They also help students understand disorders in a real-world context. RESEARCH CLOSE-UP TERMS Appearing throughout each chapter, these terms illuminate research methodologies. They are designed to give students a clearer understanding of some of the most important research concepts in the field of abnormal psychology. CHAPTER SUMMARIES Each chapter ends with a summary of the essential points of the chapter. These summaries use bulleted lists rather than formal paragraphs. This makes the information more accessible for students and easier to scan. KEY TERMS Key terms are identified in each chapter. Key terms are also listed at the end of every chapter with page numbers referencing where they can be found in the body of the text. Key terms are also defined in the Glossary at the end of the book.

Acknowledgments It takes each member of the author team more than a year of focused work to produce a new edi- tion of this textbook. During this time, family and friends receive much less attention than they deserve. We are aware that a few lines of acknowledgement in a preface do little to compensate those close to us for all the inconveniences and absences they have endured. Nonetheless, James Butcher would like to thank his wife, Carolyn L. Williams, and his children, Holly Butcher, Sherry Butcher, and Jay Butcher, for their patience and support during this time. Susan Mineka wishes to thank her graduate students, friends, and family for their patience and support for the duration of this project. Special thanks are made to J. Michael Bailey, Renee Engeln-Maddox, Kaimy Oehlberg, Jennifer Sumner, and Suzanne Vrshek-Schallhorn for their extraordinary help when she had a bad accident near the end of the revision phase. Jill Hooley is especially grateful to Kip Schur for his patience, love, support, and understanding throughout the revision process. She also thanks her graduate and undergraduate students for their comments and suggestions on various chapters. Special praise and appreciation goes to our development editors, Lisa McLellan and LeeAnn Doherty, who provided substantial editorial expertise and insightful and timely recommenda- tions. Thank you to Jeff Marshall, acquisitions editor, for his guidance and support during the writing process. Another special thank you goes to Sherry Lewis for managing the production of this book. Many experts, researchers, and users of this book provided us with comments on individual chapters. We are extremely grateful for their input and feedback. Their knowledge and expertise help us keep this text current and accurate. Tia Almpoura, Luka Babic, and Mohsen Jadidi pro- vided very valuable help. We would also like to thank the many reviewers who have contributed helpful comments on this and previous editions of Abnormal Psychology.
