Psychopathology: Foundations for a Contemporary Understanding is a comprehensive textbook about the etiology and treatment of the most important psychological disorders.

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. The contributors have incorporated information from the latest DSM-5-TR update, as well as information from the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases. This sixth edition has been updated throughout and includes the most up-date-research on each topic.

This book is the go-to textbook on psychopathology for graduate students in clinical and counseling psychology programs and related programs such as social work. It can also be used as a useful reference source for practitioners and researchers.

Industry Reviews

"The editors have graced us with a reprise of their outstanding 5th edition of this textbook with chapters by almost all of the previous, very distinguished, experts. Attention to older adults and clinical judgment is particularly noteworthy, as is the attention to the current ICD and DSM diagnostic systems. It is concise, readily supplemented, and will not overwhelm students with dense and lengthy material. The book is a gem."

Barry A. Edelstein, Eberly Family Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychology, West Virginia University, USA

"The challenge of not only describing, but also trying to explain clinical problems is a daunting one, but Psychopathology does a superb job. Students' understanding and appreciation of key issues in the etiology, assessment, and treatment of psychopathology will increase tremendously by reading this text."

Bethany Teachman, Professor and Director of Clinical Training, Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, USA

Praise for previous editions

"As with previous editions, this volume is highly readable, well-organized, scholarly, and comprehensive. Maddux and Winstead have again produced an indispensable work for graduate-level education in understanding and treating mental illness. Written by acclaimed experts in that particular topic, each chapter follows a similar format which makes the material accessible to both students and instructors alike. More importantly, the authors present the up-to-date empirical work guiding research, assessments, and interventions. Updated to reflect revisions to both the DSM and the ICD and advancements in the field, this is an essential textbook for training future mental health professionals."

Stephen M. Saunders, Professor, Department of Psychology, Marquette University, USA
