Psychopathology

Psychopathology: History, Diagnosis, and Empirical Foundations, 3rd Edition, is a textbook that presents adult psychopathology as an evidence-based and continuously evolving field. The text frames mental health conditions through empirical findings and clinical practice.

Aligned with the DSM-5, chapters investigate conditions across description, epidemiology, prevalence, consequences, neurobiological findings, translational research, and treatment. Coverage integrates neurobiological and genetic factors with behavioral, social, cognitive, and emotional effects.

To help students understand how diagnosis connects to care, the volume pairs diagnostic classifications with illustrative clinical case examples demonstrating how assessment shapes treatment strategies.
