About Book

UNDERSTANDING ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR, 11th Edition offers balanced and clear coverage of psychopathology theories, research, and clinical implications. Fully updated to reflect DSM-5 and the newest scientific, psychological, multicultural and psychiatric research, the book introduces and integrates the Multipath Model of Mental Disorders to explain how four essential factors-biological, psychological, social, and sociocultural-interact to cause mental disorders. A focus on resilience highlights prevention and recovery from the symptoms of various disorders. This edition also continues its emphasis on the multicultural, sociocultural and diversity aspects of abnormal psychology. The authors present material in a lively and engaging manner, connecting topics to real-world case studies, current events, and issues of particular importance and relevance in today's world. Special features and the fresh design make the book even more approachable and appealing to all readers.

Multipath Model of Mental Disorders

The multipath model operates under several assumptions:

• No one theoretical perspective is adequate to explain the  

complexity of the human condition and the development of  

mental disorders.

• There are multiple pathways to and influences on the development 

of any single disorder. Explanations of abnormal behavior must 

consider biological, psychological, social, and sociocultural  

elements.

• Not all dimensions contribute equally to a disorder. In the case of 

some disorders, current research suggests that certain etiological 

forces have the strongest influence on the development of the  

specific disorder. Additionally, our understanding of mental  

disorders often evolves as further investigation provides new  

insight into contributing factors.

• The multipath model is integrative and interactive. It acknowledges 

that factors may combine in complex and reciprocal ways so that 

people exposed to the same influences may not develop the same 

disorder and that different individuals exposed to different factors 

may develop similar mental disorders.

• The biological and psychological strengths and assets of a person 

and positive aspects of the person’s social and sociocultural  

environment can help protect against psychopathology, minimize 

symptoms, or facilitate recovery from mental illness.
