New Clinical Guide to Abnormal Psychology
This new videocassette was created specifically for use with the Fourth Edition of Abnormal Psychology and is exclusive to W. W. Norton & Company. It features fourteen brief interviews with individuals who have been diagnosed with a mental disorder. These are patients, not actors, and their remarks provide valuable insight into the experience of living with a mental disorder.
Student CD-ROM
The contents of the Student Web site will also be available on a CD-ROM packaged with every copy of the text at no additional charge.
Abnormal Psychology: Essential Cases and Readings

It is designed to provide students with deeper analysis of topics typically mentioned only briefly in abnormal psychology textbooks. Each chapter includes four readings that have been culled from diverse sources to address a wide array of classic and contemporary topics in psychopathology. Each reading has been edited carefully to provide students with succinct coverage of key ideas, and each is introduced by the editors and supplemented with suggested readings.
