Psychopathology & Abnormal Psychology

This Major Work provides a structured and comprehensive insight into the areas of psychopathology and abnormal psychology - topics that cover the causes and treatments of mental health problems. This is a notably interdisciplinary field that intersects a number of domains of psychological science including clinical psychology, child psychology, experimental psychology, social psychology and neuropsychology, as well as touching upon other areas of study, such as education. It also forms the knowledge base for professions such as clinical psychology and psychiatry.
