The chapters are written by leading experts in the field of psychopathology who provide up-to-date information on theory, research, and clinical practice. The book is unique in its strong emphasis on critical thinking about psychopathology as represented by chapters on topics such as culture, race, gender, class, clinical judgment, decision-making, and alternatives to traditional categorical approaches to understanding psychopathology.
