Psychopathology

---

This book provides a basic description and evaluation of clinical theory and research regarding psychopathology. It is intended primarily as an advanced text for psychopathology courses taught to graduate students in clinical, counseling, and school psychology, as well as neuroscience, psychiatry, and social work. Some instructors may find it appropriate for an upper-level undergraduate course in abnormal psychology or psychopathology. The book also provides updated and refresher materials for mental health professionals engaged in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of psychological disorders.
This first edition of this book emerged from our many discussions regarding how best to provide reading materials for the graduate psychopathology course when we were professors at the University of Colorado, Boulder. From time to time different faculty members had been called upon to teach this course, and each time this occurred we had lengthy discussions about the most appropriate reading lists and books. In addition to the standard materials regarding psychopathology, we wanted to include clinically relevant materials that focused on vulnerability and stress, genetic markers, human development, affective neuroscience, translational research, and empirically supported treatments including efficacy and effectiveness outcomes. We faced repeated difficulties in assembling such materials and requesting readings from colleagues around the world. We concluded that it was an appropriate time to ask several of our clinical science colleagues to help us create a resource that would incorporate these current and critical areas of interest. We asked them to provide a broad range of information drawn from psychopathology and related basic research for each disorder, so the reader would have a 30- to 40-page comprehensive view of each of the topics. Although we have now moved to other universities and venues for our work, we believe there is still a need in the psychopathology area for an integrative set of reading materials. In order to reflect enormous changes in psychopathology research, we have updated and revised and produced this second edition of the book. The biggest issue in the development of this edition of the book was the timing of the release of DSM-5. Should we wait until it is released or should the needed revision go ahead as planned? The initial version of DSM-5 was published in May 2013
