Summary: This book of readings by renowned specialists presents the pros and cons of 19 issues that have been persistently controversial in the field of abnormal psychology. Each presentation begins with a thoughtful and engaging introduction by Lilienfeld, followed by two readings that adopt conflicting-and in some cases diametrically opposed-perspectives on the issue being debated. All the readings were selected because of their relevance to broader issues in abnormal psychology. By exposing readers to a vast sampling of the major controversies in this field, the book helps students understand and appreciate many of the important questions that confront workers in abnormal psychology. It also helps the reader develop the skills required to critically evaluate divergent positions on these and related questions.
