  Barlow and Durand's Integrative Model broke new ground in providing students and professors with the most modern, scientifically valid method for studying abnormal psychology. With this Third Edition, Barlow and Durand continue to offer students and professors a text that successfully blends sophisticated research (including new prevention coverage) and approachability within the most widely recognized method of discussing psychopathology. Going beyond simply describing different schools of thought on psychological disorders, David Barlow and V. Mark Durand delve deeper by exploring the interactions of various forces that contribute to psychopathology. Their consistent organizational structure, which enhances comprehension, along with integrated case studies (95% from authors' own files), a conversational writing style, and a variety of study tools, make their text the most balanced learning resource available.
