About this ebook

The Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology, 11th Edition by Thomas F. Oltmanns and Michele T. Martin presents 23 distinct case studies designed to apply abstract clinical research to real-world scenarios. Each case outlines the clinical problem, details the creation and implementation of a treatment plan, and reviews the statistical prevalence and potential causes of the disorder. [1]

The main topics and clinical disorders covered across the book's 23 cases include:
