Psychopathology South African Edition

An Integrative Approach to Mental Disorders

About this book

This second South African edition of Psychopathology offers students a local version of this well-known text. Balancing biological, psychological, social and cultural approaches, the integrative approach followed is the most modern, scientifically valid method for studying abnormal psychology. This edition successfully blends local and sophisticated research and an accessible writing style with the most widely recognised method of discussing psychopathology. Going beyond simply describing different schools of thought on psychological disorders, the authors explore the interactions of the various forces, both global ones and those unique to South Africa and Africa, that contribute to psychopathology. Furthermore, this South African edition includes a perspective on positive psychology and well-being in the context of psychopathology.
