Psychopathology

In Psychopathology, William J. Ray and new coauthor Jason Schiffman provide an unprecedented understanding of mental disorders by integrating the latest findings from clinical science, neuroscience, genetics, epidemiology, cultural perspectives, and more. With valuable data and the actual DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria built into the chapters, students develop a broad view of mental disorders, as well as an appreciation for human resilience and recovery. The Fifth Edition is fully updated to include new information on social media and childhood disorders, genetic subtypes of ASD, GLP-1 receptors, the prevention of neurocognitive disorders, applications of AI in clinical science, and proposals for the next edition of DSM.
