'Dr Kenneth Carter has carefully crafted an engaging, empirically rich, student-centered, and inclusive psychopathology textbook. No doubt, learners (and learning facilitators) will appreciate the clarity of explanations; the friendly, focused layout for close reading; the meaningful discussion questions for deep processing; the rich concept checks for retrieval practice; the abundance of relevant real-world examples and provocative illustrations; and the great care taken to present a highly readable, concise, and evidence-based exploration of psychological disorders in a practical, timely, and multiperspective context.' Bob DuBois, University of Tennessee, Knoxville 'Carter presents critical issues in psychopathology in a clear and organized fashion current with the DSM-5tr. He carefully attends to cultural variations and objectively navigates sensitive issues such as gender identity. His inclusion of `The Power of Words', which introduces the reader to word usage, its role in psychodiagnostics, and its importance for learning empathy, sets this text apart.' Gregory Moffatt, Point University
