Full of interesting clinical vignettes as well as a very valuable section focused on resolving conflicting findings, entitled 'Thinking Scientifically,' this book provides a full and complete picture of the fascinating profession of clinical psychology. Must-reading for all students thinking of entering the health professions.' David Barlow, Boston University
'I've used previous editions and have been very pleased with the balance of science and application, which is the core of empirically based clinical psychology. This new revision continues to provide a thoughtful and pedagogically sound introduction to clinical psychology for undergraduate students. Indeed, it would be suitable as well for beginning graduate students. It is well organized and clearly written, in an engaging way. I look forward to adopting it.' Gerald Davison, University of Southern California
'Introduction to Clinical Psychology is the most comprehensive and interesting text in the area and the tenth edition does not disappoint. With the tragic death of Scott Lilienfeld, Professor Andres De Los Reyes joins Professors Bernstein, Teachman, and Olatunji in the most recent update of this marvelous text. The authors are among the best and brightest in the field and their text is informative and interesting to read. Firmly grounded in an empirical approach, the text covers the history of clinical psychology through diagnostics, assessment, and treatment. It is a superb compendium from clinical scholars at the top of the field and the best introduction to clinical psychology that I have seen.' Steven Hollon, Vanderbilt University
