by Rashtriy Shaikshik Anusandhan Aur Prashikshan Parishadविद्यार्थियों की सहज भाषा अभिव्यक्ति का ताकतवर ज़रिया बने। स्कूली जीवन से ही वे बाहर की विशाल दुनिया में झाँकें, जीवन जगत के अनेक रूपों को समझे-बूझें, रंग-बिरंगे सपनों का ताना-बाना फैलाना सीखें, मुश्किलों को पहचानें और उसका सामना कर सकें यानी अपनी राह तलाशने में या बनाने में वे खुद सक्षम हो सकें। राष्ट्रीय पाठ्यचर्या की रूपरेखा (2005) में इन बिंदुओं पर खासा बल है। इन्हीं को ध्यान में रखकर नए पाठ्यक्रम के तहत उच्चतर माध्यमिक स्तर पर हिंदी पढ़ने वाले विद्यार्थियों के लिए एक ऐसी पुस्तक की परिकल्पना की गई, जो अभिव्यक्ति के अलग-अलग माध्यमों पर केंद्रित हो। अभिव्यक्ति और माध्यम नामक इस पुस्तक की तीन इकाइयाँ हैं- जनसंचार माध्यम और लेखन, सृजनात्मक लेखन और व्यावहारिक लेखन। ये तीनों ही माध्यम एक विशेष बिंदु पर एक-दूसरे से जुड़े हुए हैं और व्यापक रूप से संचार के ही अलग-अलग रूप हैं। साज-सज्जा के लिए तसवीरों के साथ-साथ रेखांकन, स्वतंत्र कार्टून और कैरीकेचर की मदद ली गई है। व्यंग्य के सहारे कार्टून संजीदा बिंबात्मक अर्थ देने में समर्थ होते हैं। जनसंचार, सृजनात्मक लेखन और व्यावहारिक लेखन जैसे विषयों के साथ-साथ कार्टून चित्रों का प्रयोग विद्यार्थियों को अभिव्यक्ति का एक नया माध्यम भी दे सकता है।

Abnormal Psychology
by Deborah C. Beidel Cynthia M. Bulik Melinda StanleyPresents a balanced Scientist - Practitioner - Educator approach to understanding Abnormal Psychology. Several features distinguish this text from other textbooks currently available. First, the base of abnormal psychology rests on knowledge generated through scientific studies and clinical practice. This text emphasizes this rich blend throughout. Second, it is increasingly clear that most forms of adult abnormal behavior either begin in childhood or have childhood precursors. This text highlights what is known about the developmental trajectory of each condition. Such a focus is instrumental in helping students gain some insight into the etiology of maladaptive conditions. Third, Beidel integrates biological findings with findings from social and behavioral sciences to foster the perspective that abnormal behavior is complex and subject to many different forces, and highlight how these variables often interact in a reciprocal fashion. Fourth, scientific findings with respect to race and gender are discussed with respect to each condition. This includes a discussion of prevalence, differences in symptom manifestation, and any known etiological differences. Importantly, an effort is made to “bring to life” the nature of these conditions by providing vivid clinical descriptions. In addition to short descriptions used liberally throughout each chapter, a fully integrated case study is presented at the end of each chapter, again illustrating the interplay of biological, psychosocial and emotional factors.
Abnormal Psychology: A Scientist-Practitioner Approach

The Fourth Edition offers expanded coverage of disorders emphasized in the DSM-5, as well as discussions of contemporary issues that foster student interest.
Abnormal Psychology: Myths of 'Crazy' (Second Edition)
by Drew Curtis Leslie KelleyAbnormal Psychology: Myths of ‘Crazy’ guides readers in the deconstruction of these myths by means of a process designed to help formulate a sound approach to abnormality and a thorough understanding of various disorders through the lens of the DSM-5. Students will learn the importance of intentionally directing attention toward the humanity of the individuals who have various disorders, in order to develop more accurate perceptions of these individuals. The goal is to reflect on the humanity within abnormality rather than reducing people to a label and stripping them of their humanity. Readers will be confronted with the idea that abnormality is not exemplified by “crazies” in a straight-jacket, void of coherent words, but rather by human persons, who are often suffering, feeling immense pain, or who have impaired functioning in their life, which may even include being void of coherent words.

Abnormal Psychology: Clinical & Scientific Perspectives
by Barclay Martin Charles LyonsThe United States spends more money on mental disorders than on any other health condition, with heart disease and cancer trailing far behind. As important as that statistic is, it is not the main reason that it is incumbent upon us to understand more about these conditions. We all have friends or family members who have battled with mental health in some way. It is therefore important to learn what we can about mental disorders, including how they are identified, how they develop, how they can be treated, and, ultimately, how they can be prevented. <p><p> As in the previous editions of Abnormal Psychology: Clinical and Scientific Perspectives, this sixth edition was prepared with the goal of producing a readable, useful, inexpensive referenced resource that could serve as a primary text for students in undergraduate abnormal psychology courses. It provides a thorough (and critical) overview of the official system for classifying mental disorders - the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) - describing the many ways in which the DSM-5 differs from its predecessors. As this text reviews both past and present treatment approaches and their supporting research, it also encourages students to think critically and to evaluate the strength of evidence.

Abnormal Psychology and Life: A Dimensional Approach
by Christopher A. Kearney Timothy J. TrullChris Kearney and Tim Trull's ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY AND LIFE: A DIMENSIONAL APPROACH provides students with a concise, contemporary, science-based view of psychopathology that emphasizes the individual first and the disorder second. Through consistent pedagogy featuring clinical cases and real first-person narratives, the text illuminates our understanding that abnormal behavior--rather than being either present or absent--exists in everyone to some degree on a continuum from normal to pathological. By highlighting this widely accepted dimensional view--which places the behavior of an individual at the forefront of clinical assessment, prevention, definition, and treatment--the text's goal is to encourage students to become intelligent consumers of mental health information. With its emphasis on assessment and treatment as well as prevention, the book gives students the tools necessary to understand the precursors of abnormal behavior, overcome the stigma associated with it, and identify the real people classified as exhibiting it.
