Reviews:

• Kudos to editor Thomas G. Plante for attempting to help bring psychology and psychological practice into the new millennium.... The overall value of these three volumes is undisputed.... All of the chapters are well written and easily understood by any graduate student or practicing clinician. Most authors illustrate their positions with carefully selected vignettes, and most include useful references.

• Prepared with the educated lay reader in mind, this three-volume set presents 37 articles brought together by Plante who sought to avoid the jargon-filled, data-driven writing found in much of the academic literature and to communicate knowledge on abnormal behavior that draws on up-to-date research and practice evidence.
