"Clinical Psychology: Science, Practice, and Culture distinguishes itself from other core texts for undergraduate clinical psychology courses through the evenhanded presentation of multiple clinical perspectives and emphasis on multicultural issues. Written in an academic yet accessible style, the text covers all subfields of clinical psychology thoroughly, including the history and current state of the field, clinical assessment, psychotherapy, ethical and professional issues, and specialized topics such as forensic and health psychology. In particular, the text covers the subfield that constitutes the primary interest of students and the primary activity of clinical psychologists - psychotherapy - broadly."--BOOK JACKET.
