"[I]nvites the reader to consider recurring themes and trends in the conceptualization of abnormal behavior from ancient to modern times. . . . Abnormal Psychology Across the Ages is an important work that presents a well-integrated, tersely presented, topical, panoramic, and interdisciplinary discussion of key historical, contemporary, biological, behavioral, physical, and philosophical trends that lead us back to examine our beliefs about what constitutes adaptive as well as maladaptive behavior." - PsycCRITIQUES"This reference set will be useful to high school or undergraduate students writing about mental illness in history and in the present. . . . Overall, though, the chapters seem well-written and well-researched, with reference lists. . . . Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-level undergraduates; general readers." - Choice
