This newly updated bestseller features a free Internet companion, a state-of-the-art website (including interactive case studies, practice tests and downloadable graphics), and a new "Cutting Edge" feature highlighting topics that have taken center stage in the field of abnormal psychology within the last two years. The Updated Edition supplements reflect changes in text. The Study Guide, Test Bank, and Instructor's Manual each have an "update booklet" shrink-wrapped to them, providing new questions for students, new discussion questions for instructors, and new test bank questions. Changes to the tenth edition include: chapter on sexual disorders was reworked and the authors added coverage of sexual abuse of children and the reliability of memories; coverage of historical and cross-cultural issues that affect views of what is normal and abnormal.
