GO DIGITAL—NOW IN ACHIEVEThe #1 bestseller for teaching Abnormal Psychology

Available with DSM-5-TR updates for fall classes!
Now with all digital content in Macmillan Learning's breakthrough platform, Achieve, the landmark new edition of Ron and Jon Comer's Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology surveys the latest developments in the field, including up-to-the-moment research on the psychological impact of COVID-19 pandemic. This is the first introduction to abnormal psychology to examine the growing body of research on the pandemic's effects on a range of disorders, immune system functioning, family abuse, the shift towards telemental health, and the disproportionate burden on poor persons, members of minority groups, and others.

This edition also carries forward the Comers' trademark approach, balancing coverage of major clinical perspectives with a deep empathy for individuals living with mental disorders. The authors further expand their multicultural perspective, address such topics as the underrepresentation of racial and ethnic groups in clinical research, diagnostic bias, and many more. Finally, the Comers include enhanced coverage of the developmental psychopathology perspective, brain circuitry, and topics related to technology throughout.

With Achieve, our most powerful learning option is also our most affordable and up-to-date. The e-textbook and assessment tools in Achieve will reflect updates to the DSM-5-TR, including new coverage of prolonged grief disorder, revised diagnostic criteria, and more. These changes will be live in Achieve no later than July 14th. Print copies can also be packaged with a pamphlet on the DSM-5-TR updates at no additional cost.

Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology is also available to package (in print or electronically) with Ethan Gorenstein and Ronald Comer's new Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology, Third Edition! See the catalog page for more information.

Diverse and Equitable Coverage - The authors recognize that it is absolutely critical that the field continue to evolve in its understanding of the impact of race, ethnicity, SES, sex, gender, sexual orientation, imigrant status, and other factors. This edition continues to expand on the multicultural perspective, with thorough updates integrated throughout the text.

InfoCentrals - Each chapter contains a full-page representation of data on a key topic, inviting students to dive deeper into concepts like mindfulness, sleep and sleep disorders, and the dark triad, among others.

MindTech boxes provide coverage of the many ways technology continues to impact mental health.

Trending features offer insight into the latest topics in abnormal psychology.

PsychWatch makes connections between the text and the real world by offering specific stories from the news.

Excerpts from published Case Material is woven throughout each chapter, giving students a chance to understand psychological dysfunction and treatment by reading actual interactions between clinicians and patients.

NEW IN THE TEXT
COVID-19 coverage. The new edition reflects the massive impact the COVID 19 pandemic has had on all aspects of mental health, including coverage of the disproportionate impact on marginalized communities and the shift towards telemental health.

New Developmental Psychopathology figures bring the authors’ continued coverage of the developmental psychopathology perspective to life by illustrating the ideas of multifinality and equifinality with eye-catching visual representations.

New Brain Circuitry art helps students visualize the brain as a system of interconnections and interactions, rather than static and isolated regions,  and makes it easier to comprehend this important aspect of abnormal psychology research.

"My students appear to like the textbook. It is very readable and has excellent examples that they can relate to."
Jumi Hayaki, College of the Holy Cross
 

"Basic concepts are presented in well-written and accessible ways. The text is about the right balance of breadth and depth for a semester. The text helps students see the relevance of the material in their own lives."
Larry Schor, University of West Georgia
 

"The first major strength is the amount of culturally relevant material you have included in the form of narrative, descriptors, and illustrations and through the InfoCentral and MindTech features. The second strength is the flow and ease of covering the material. The material is written in such a way that the student will have in-depth understanding on topics, and research is included at the same time. It feels that the voice of the author is presenting information that is unbiased and providing new and up-to-date factual information.

I believe this textbook has culture in mind and attempts to make this real and applicable to students’ daily living. It is written so students can understand, but it is still sophisticated and flows well in the reading.

With all of the activities, boxes, and InfoCentrals, everything that I have reviewed has been relevant and expanded how material can be learned. Students would have a plethora of approaches to learn. This is amazing!"
Lisa Davies, Nashville State Community College

"Very good explanation of difficult concepts; excellent clinical examples; easy-to-follow biological details."
Rajesh Malik, Dawson College

Ronald J. Comer

Ronald J. Comer has been a professor in Princeton University’s Department of Psychology for the past 47 years, also serving for many years as director of Clinical Psychology Studies and as chair of the university’s Institutional Review Board. In 2016 he transitioned to emeritus status at the university. He has received the President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching at Princeton, where his various courses in abnormal psychology were among the university’s most popular.

Professor Comer is also Clinical Associate Professor of Family Medicine and Community Health at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He has also been a practicing clinical psychologist and served as a consultant to Eden Autism Services and to hospitals and family practice residency programs throughout New Jersey.

In addition to writing the textbooks Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology (tenth edition), Abnormal Psychology (eleventh edition), Psychology Around Us (second edition), and Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology (third edition), Professor Comer has published a range of journal articles and produced numerous widely used educational video programs, including The Higher Education Video Library Series, The Video Anthology for Abnormal Psychology, Video Segments in Neuroscience, Introduction to Psychology Video Clipboard, and Developmental Psychology Video Clipboard.

Professor Comer was an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania and a graduate student at Clark University. He currently lives in Florida with his wife, Marlene. From there he keeps a close eye on his nearby grandchildren Delia and Emmett, somehow making the same mistakes with them that he made with their father Jon and their uncle Greg a generation ago. Then again, that turned out pretty well.

Jonathan S. Comer

Jonathan S. Comer is a professor of psychology at Florida International University, where he also directs the Mental Health Interventions and Technology (MINT) Program. He is Past President of the Society of Clinical Psychology (Division 12 of the American Psychological Association) and a leader in the field of clinical child and adolescent psychology. The author of over 200 scientific papers and chapters, he has received career awards from the American Psychological Association, the Association for Psychological Science, and the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies for his research on innovative treatment methods, childhood anxiety and disruptive behavior problems, and the impact of traumatic stress, disasters, terrorism, and public health crises on children. His current work also focuses on ties between psychopathology, neurocircuitry, and the intergenerational transmission of psychological problems.

In addition to Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology (tenth edition), Professor Comer has authored Abnormal Psychology (eleventh edition) and Childhood Disorders (second edition) and edited The Oxford Handbook of Research Strategies for Clinical Psychology, among other books. He serves as Editor of the journal Behavior Therapy and is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, the Society of Clinical Psychology, the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, and the Society for Child and Family Policy and Practice. He is also a practicing clinical psychologist.

Professor Comer was an undergraduate at the University of Rochester and a graduate student at Temple University. He currently lives in South Florida with his wife, Jami, and their children Delia and Emmett. He loves music — both playing and listening — and enjoys keeping an eye on the often-frustrating Philadelphia sports teams that his father taught him to love/hate.
