Preface Acknowledgments I am very grateful to the many people who have contributed to writing and producing this book.
I particularly thank Marlene Comer and Marion Kowalewski for their outstanding work on the manuscript and their constant good cheer. In addition, I am indebted to Marlene Catania and Sharon Kraus for their fine work on the references. I am indebted greatly to those outstanding academicians and clinicians who have reviewed the manuscript of this new edition of Abnormal Psychology, along with that of its partner, Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology, and have commented with great insight and wisdom on its clarity, accuracy, and completeness.
Their collective knowledge has in large part shaped the seventh edition: Dave W. Rabin, Brooklyn College; Susan J. Simonian, College of Charleston; Joanne H.
Earlier I also received valuable feedback from academicians and clinicians who reviewed portions of the first six editions of Abnormal Psychology. Certainly their collective knowledge has also helped shape the seventh edition, and I gratefully acknowledge their important contributions: Kent G. Allen Campbell, University of St. Cline, University of Utah; E. Flack Jr. Krasnoff, University of Missouri, St. Louis; Robert D. Matthews, Loyola University; Robert J. Payne, University of Cincinnati; David V.
Powley, University of Mobile; Max W. Rehm, University of Houston; Leslie A. Rescorla, Bryn Mawr College; R. Shields, University of Montana; Sandra T. Whisenhunt, Missouri State University additional Web site materials.
I also extend my deep appreciation to the core team of professionals at Worth Publishers and W. Freeman and Company who have worked so closely with me to produce this edition. This team consists of truly extraordinary people—each extremely talented, each committed to excellence, each dedicated to the education of readers, each bound by a remarkable work ethic, and each a wonderful person. It is accurate to say that they were my co-authors and co-teachers in this enterprise, and I am in their debt.
Elizabeth Widdicombe, president of Worth and Freeman, has continued to lead the companies superbly, to create a very supportive environment for my books, and to be a good friend.
Still other professionals at Worth and at Freeman to whom I am indebted are Todd Elder, director of advertising; Michele Kornegay, copy editor; Ellen Brennan and Sharon Kraus, indexers; Lorraine Klimowich, assistant editor; Nancy Giraldo Walker, rights and permissions manager; Eric Dorger, intern; and John Philp for his outstanding work on the video supplements for professors and students.
Thank you so much. One final note. With each passing year, I become increasingly aware of just how fortunate I am. Similarly, I am grateful beyond words that I have a number of wonderful friends and an extraordinary family, particularly my terrific and accomplished sons, Greg and Jon; my wonderful new daughter-in-law, Jami; and my magnificent wife, Marlene, whose generosity, strength, and grace are always present.
She is certain that the future holds nothing but misery. Indeed, this is the only thing she does feel certain about. The world is ugly. I hate every moment of my life. She is afraid to close her eyes.
When she does, the hopelessness of her life—and the ugly future that awaits her daughters—becomes all the clearer to her. When she drifts off to sleep, her dreams are nightmares filled with terrible images—bodies, flooding, decay, death, destruction. Some mornings Alisha even has trouble getting out of bed. The thought of facing another day overwhelms her. She wishes that she and her daughters were dead. On such mornings, she huddles her daughters close to her, makes sure that the shades of her trailer home are drawn and the door locked, and sits away the day in the darkened room.
She feels she has been assaulted by society and then deserted by the world and left to rot. She is both furious at life and afraid of it at the same time. During the past year Brad has been hearing mysterious voices that tell him to quit his job, leave his family, and prepare for the coming invasion. He believes that they come from beings in distant parts of the universe who are somehow wired to him.
Although it gives him a sense of purpose and specialness to be the chosen target of their communications, they also make him tense and anxious. He dreads the coming invasion. When he refuses an order, the voices insult and threaten him and turn his days into a waking nightmare.
Brad has put himself on a sparse diet against the possibility that his enemies may be contaminating his food. He has found a quiet apartment far from his old haunts where he has laid in a good stock of arms and ammunition. His family and friends have tried to reach out to Brad, to understand his problems, and to dissuade him from the disturbing course he is taking.
Every day, however, he retreats further into his world of mysterious voices and imagined dangers. These terms have been applied to the many problems that seem closely tied to the human brain or mind.
