Carter's Psychopathology is an accessible, engaging, and well-organized text covering the study, understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of psychological disorders. Fully integrating gender and culture in the presentation of mental disorders, and using a sensitive and inclusive language to encourage an empathic approach to psychopathology, this introductory textbook offers students a strong foundation of the socio-cultural factors influencing how we treat mental disorders. Featuring: boxes such as 'the power of words', promoting the use of respectful, empathic language, and 'the power of evidence', demonstrating that scientific evidence can answer questions about psychopathology treatments; real-world case studies and examples; 'concept checks' questions to test the student's mastery of the material covered in each section; chapter summaries listing the 'take-home' points discussed; and key terms and glossary highlighting terms that students will need to understand and become familiar with, this textbook provides a hands-on approach to the study of psychopathology.

Industry Reviews

'Dr Kenneth Carter has carefully crafted an engaging, empirically rich, student-centered, and inclusive psychopathology textbook. No doubt, learners (and learning facilitators) will appreciate the clarity of explanations; the friendly, focused layout for close reading; the meaningful discussion questions for deep processing; the rich concept checks for retrieval practice; the abundance of relevant real-world examples and provocative illustrations; and the great care taken to present a highly readable, concise, and evidence-based exploration of psychological disorders in a practical, timely, and multiperspective context.' Bob DuBois, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
'Carter presents critical issues in psychopathology in a clear and organized fashion current with the DSM-5tr. He carefully attends to cultural variations and objectively navigates sensitive issues such as gender identity. His inclusion of `The Power of Words', which introduces the reader to word usage, its role in psychodiagnostics, and its importance for learning empathy, sets this text apart.' Gregory Moffatt, Point University
