The cover stories of news magazines from \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eU.S. News and World Report\u003c\/i\u003e often focus on abnormal psychology and behavior connected to these particular topics, as well as to autism, child hyperactivity, depression, eating disorders, and more. In these volumes, experts in their respective fields draw together compelling chapters on the abnormal psychology and resulting behaviors that are today most often and most dramatically at issue in our world, including such topics as workaholism. Written with accessibility in mind, the set is intended to bridge the gap between research monographs and self-help books, to give layreaders and students solid and up to date information without having to translate jargon-heavy text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people today are impacted by abnormal behavior or mental illness in some way.
