'The Bernstein text is a classic in the field and a superb introduction to clinical psychology that has been made even better by the addition of three of the top people in the field, including two APA early career award winners and perhaps the premier 'buster' of myths in psychology. The text is comprehensive (from assessment through treatment) and eminently readable and makes a persuasive case for the integration of science and practice.' Steven Hollon, Vanderbilt University

Thoroughly updated and revised, the ninth edition of this bestselling textbook introduces students to clinical psychology as a bridge between science and practice. Extensive revisions since the previous edition have resulted in the most accessible, up-to-date and thematically integrated edition of Introduction to Clinical Psychology yet, while maintaining the authority and accessibility students and instructors have come to rely on. Updates include: three new co-authors who are internationally recognized scholar-practitioners; illustrations of how psychologists use evidence-based practices to help clients; the fictional 'Jackson family' case studies, providing vivid examples of a family confronting numerous mental health challenges; 'Thinking Scientifically' sections in each chapter, which break down how students can think critically with conflicting findings and use them to draw conclusions; 'In Review' tables at the end of each major section prompting students to review the material and test their comprehension; and an expanded image program, printed in color for the first time.
