Clinical Psychopathology by E M Coles
Psychopathology is the scientific study of abnormal behaviour and mental illness, and thus forms part of the theoretical foundation for a great range of professions from special education, medicine and nursing, psychology and psychiatry to law enforcement and social work, all of which deal with people whose experiences or behaviour are in some way abnormal. Originally published in 1982 Clinical Psychopathology provided a broad introduction to the topics and problems of psychopathology, by taking the four major areas – classification and diagnosis, symptomatology, aetiology, therapy – summarizing their most important concepts and looking at the relationships between them. Professor Coles integrates the history of psychopathology with the main facts and theories that were current at the time, and an important feature of the book was that it maintained a balance between the approaches of the different disciplines that are involved in the subject.
The bias of the book, writes Professor Coles, ‘is towards conceptualization and understanding of basic principles, particularly definitions, rather than a detailed recounting of specific disorders and treatments. It subscribes to the basic belief that psychology is the scientific study of common sense.’ His clear and lucid expositions would make the book particularly helpful to undergraduates and a source of useful information for all other readers. Today it can be read in its historical context.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
