Most people today are affected by abnormal behaviour or mental illness. Many suffer from mental disorders or live with someone who does. Others have been victimized by people experiencing abnormal psychology. The daily news is filled with stories about problems in human behaviour, such as murder, suicide, drunk-driving accidents, child abuse, drug addiction, and other sorts of harmful or criminal behaviour. Less dramatically, many people have to face problems such as autism, child hyperactivity, depression, eating disorders and more. In these volumes, experts in their respective fields draw together compelling chapters on the abnormal psychology and resulting behaviours that are of most concern in today's world. As well as discussing clinical disorders, the set addresses less formally identified harmful behaviours that have been the topic of popular discussion, such as 'workaholism'. Written with accessibility in mind, these books are intended to bridge the gap between research monographs and self-help books, to give general readers and students solid and up-to-date information without having to tackle jargon-heavy specialist texts.
