The guidelines and standards that we follow in our professional
activities are not set in stone. Change is a big part of life and new
research or novel new theories can impact the way mental health
professionals view problems. Although many of the ideas and
diagnostic concepts in the field of abnormal psychology have persisted
for hundreds of years, changes in thinking do occur. And,
at some point there are events that occur that force a rethinking
of some issues. Most recently in abnormal psychology, the publication
of the DSM-5, after years of development and considerable
controversy, is one of those momentous changes. Reflecting
this, we have revised this new edition of Abnormal Psychology to
reflect the most up-to-date information about diagnostic categories,
classifications, and criteria.
