Reviews for Psychopathology and Mental Distress: Contrasting Perspectives

“Raskin has accomplished... the blending of a biopsychosocial model and the incorporation of an international perspective into the same text on psychopathology. This will likely become a standard by which other psychopathology texts are compared.” * R. E. Osborne, Texas State University (Choice review) *
