Product description

About the Author

Susan Nolen-Hoeksema (19592013) In January 2013 we lost our esteemed author and friend, Susan Nolen-Hoeksema. Susan was a renowned scholar, teacher, mentor, and academic leader. She was recognized internationally for her work on how people regulate their feelings and emotions and how particular patterns of thinking can make people vulnerable to and recover slowly from emotional problems, especially depression. Her research shaped the fields perspective on depression in women and girls, and countless empirical studies and theoretical contributions followed as she developed her groundbreaking theory of rumination and depression. In her words: My career has focused on two parallel goals. The first is to use empirical methods to address important social and mental health problems (depression, rumination, womens mental health). The second goal is to disseminate psychological science. I also believe in taking science to the public, through my textbook on Abnormal Psychology and books for the general public on womens mental health. Susan taught at Stanford University, the University of Michigan, and Yale University.Susans work focused on depression, mood-regulation, and gender, for which she was recognized and received the David Shakow Early Career Award from Division 12, the Distinguished Leadership Award from the Committee on Women of American Psychological Association, the James McKeen Cattell Fellow Award from the Association for Psychological Science, a Research Career Award, and multiple grants from the National Institute of Mental Health. In addition, she was the founding editor of the Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, now the most highly cited journal in the field of clinical psychology. In addition to being an accomplished professor, scholar, teacher, and writer, Susan was a loving and devoted mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, and mentor. Susan touched and inspired the lives of many people both professionally and personally, and she will be dearly missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well-written text!

There was a tremendous amount of information in this text and yet it was beautifully presented. I thought the use of stories, charts, graphs, etc., helped to make what could have been an overwhelming amount of information flow logically and make sense while reading it. I used this text for a grad level course in a mental health program. I wish more of my texts were this useful; definitely a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars the kindle version was great! I was easy to read!

Straight forward, easy to follow and read. I enjoyed to kindle version because i was able to look up any words within the book itself and it would send to that specific page if i was looking for let's say the definition for "Anorexia-Nervosa".

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but not too in-depth
Reviewed in the United States on 15 July 2012

I bought this book for an upper-level psychology class but we didn't use the book all that much. I don't think this book is in-depth enough to use for most upper-level psychology courses so we primarily learned from other materials. I also did my own research on the internet for certain topics.

However, I still enjoyed reading the book and I thought it was easy to read and understand. There was a lot of interesting information. I liked that the book was cited because I could look up the specific articles to gain a better understanding of the material myself.

Abnormal Psychology! I loved everything about the class and the textbook! Even though the book had medical terms and such it explained everything very well. I would purchase this book just to have on a bookshelf at home!
