Summary: Think of how many prostitutes you could afford with $106!
Comment: This book has made me wonder just what the hell psychologists have been doing for the last 100 years. Used in a large number of college classrooms around the nation, and along with the hefty $100+ price tag, I was rather expectant as I began reading this colorful text that was to offer an introduction to abnormal psychology. And if I might be blunt, after finished the whole text, I'm left with the conclusion that either psychology is one of the emptiest modern "sciences" practiced today, or this book fails to achieve its introductory purpose. Due to further research and careful observation of my professor, I surmise the case is more of the former.

Pro's: Colorful illustrations, extraordinarily easy to read, interesting side-stories.

Con's: Extraordinarily easy to read, lack of depth, constant relapse into the typical unrealized systems of ethics that modern psychology believes itself to avoid.

If you're an avid reader, this book will annoy you to no end, but if you have to purchase it for class, than you really have no choice. I wouldn't call this a keeper at the end of the semester, and if you're thinking about picking this one up on the side, you might want to search for a much more affordable book first; it's not as if there's been any revolutions in the field in the last century (other than new drugs, of course).

Summary: excellent overview
Comment: The price of this textbook made me cringe until I got it and began using it. It is very current and includes trendy mental health information. I enjoyed the book and plan on keeping it rather than selling it back. Formatted well and great photos.

Summary: How this booked helped me
Comment: This book helped me to understand the deep-routed problems within my own personal space. Most of the people around me noticed a positive change thanks to this book, although not all (B.A.) would accept it. I would recommend this book to anybody who would like to gain a deeper understanding of psycology and the conditions surround the topic.
