  This text synthesizes theoretical models, research, clinical experiences, therapies, and controversies within the context of social and cultural influences. It weaves the main text, case studies, quotations, critical thinking questions, margin notes, cultural and gender differences, and other important elements into a cohesive narrative that is designed to keep students engaged. Comer encourages students to think critically about the science and study of abnormal psychology. His text also reveals the humanity behind the study of psychopathology - the impact of psychological dysfunction on those who suffer from it and their families.
