Abnormal Psychology: The Science and Treatment of Psychological Disorders consists of a balance and blending of research and clinical application, the use of paradigms as an organizing principle, and involving the learner in the kinds of real-world problem solving engaged in by clinicians and scientists. Students learn that psychopathology is best understood by considering multiple perspectives and that these varying perspectives provide the clearest accounting of the causes of these disorders as well as the best possible treatments.

Abnormal Psychology for Educators presents students with a carefully curated selection of readings that consider childhood mental health conditions from both a clinical and school psychology perspective. Exposure to diverse perspectives and approaches helps to clarify the differences between school and clinical psychology and effectively prepares students for successful careers as psychologists, school counselors, or school psychologists. Each chapter within the text centers around a particular diagnosis or condition and includes two readings, one from a clinical psychology perspective and another from a school psychology perspective. The opening chapter provides readers with an introduction to abnormal psychology. Later chapters address special education law and school-based accommodations, anxiety and depressive disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Students read articles about conduct and behavioral problems, autism spectrum disorder, and trauma-related disorders. The final chapter speaks to obsessive-compulsive disorders. Each chapter includes discussion questions to stimulate critical thinking, reflection, and conversation. Designed to help future psychologists and counselors to identify, treat, and support individuals with mental health conditions, Abnormal Psychology for Educators is an ideal resource for courses in school-centered psychology and counseling. Katherine Stavropoulos is an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Riverside. She holds a Ph.D. in experimental psychology from the University of California, San Diego, and completed her postdoctoral work at the Yale Child Study Center. Dr. Stavropoulos is a licensed clinical psychologist and the assistant director of the UC Riverside SEARCH Autism Center, which offers free screenings and support to families in the Inland Empire of California. Dr. Stavropoulos' research explores neural correlates of the reward system in children with and without autism spectrum disorders, as well as broader topics in social cognitive neuroscience.

Abnormal and clinical psychology courses are offered in psychology programs at universities worldwide, but the most recent major encyclopedia on the topic was published many years ago. Although general psychology handbooks and encyclopedias include essays on abnormal and clinical psychology, such works do not provide students with an accessible reference for understanding the full scope of the field. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Abnormal and Clinical Psychology, a 7-volume, A-Z work (print and electronic formats), will be such an authoritative work. Its more than 1,400 entries will provide information on fundamental approaches and theories, various mental health disorders, assessment tools and psychotherapeutic interventions, and the social, legal, and cultural frameworks that have contributed to debates in abnormal and clinical psychology. Key features include: 1,400 signed articles contained in 7 volumes and available in choice of print and/or electronic formats Although organized A-to-Z, front matter includes a Reader’s Guide grouping related entries thematically Back matter includes a Chronology, Resource Guide, Bibliography, and detailed Index Entries conclude with References/Further Readings and Cross-References to related entries The Index, Reader’s Guide themes, and Cross-References between and among entries all combine to provide robust search-and-browse features in the electronic version.

In Understanding Abnormal Child Psychology, students will learn about both normative and abnormal development throughout children’s lives. Consistent with previous editions, several themes run throughout the book: Developmental psychopathology: Children's and adolescents' behaviors are on a continuum (from very adaptive to very maladaptive), with only the very severe ends of the spectrum being conceptualized as disorders. Diversity, inclusion, and understanding: Special attention is given to issues of race/ethnicity, gender, family constellation, religious orientation, primary language, socioeconomic status, and physical differences to help students see the commonalities and differences of abnormal child behavior within a cross-cultural and international context. New to the 4th edition Completely revised in both structure and content to reflect the DSM-5 Increase coverage of risk factors related to long-term effects of sexual abuse and bullying. Increased coverage of diversity to include new "diversities" that have emerged as important, i.e. transgender children New research on suicide and suicide prevention
