Publisher's Review
The 2nd edition of 『Case-Based Abnormal Psychology (DSM-5)』
(1) Addition of case studies
(2) Highlighting the clarity of key questions
(3) Refinement of commentary
(4) In-depth analysis of causes and treatments
(5) Additional Chapter 20 (Other issues requiring clinical attention)

Since it has been supplemented and supplemented to become a scientific, practical, and three-dimensional guide to abnormal psychology based on DSM-5, the second edition can be of great help in acquiring correct knowledge of abnormal psychology and understanding human mental problems and finding solutions to them.

Where do human mental health problems stem from? They are not caused by a single factor, but rather the result of a complex interplay of multiple factors.
Among the various factors, negative life events, or stress that causes a mental shock that one cannot handle, account for the largest proportion.
Stress, which causes mental shock, is actually the greatest source of suffering that humans can inflict on other humans.
The question is how to overcome such pain.


People sometimes feel happiness as they live, but there are also many cases where they feel psychological pain for various reasons.
In such pain, we feel unhappy, think about whether there is something wrong with us, and blame others.
Sometimes we become weak and our mental illness deepens, and we lose our will to live.
Other people may seem happy and like they have no problems.
Pain and trials are bitter and painful.
But it can and must be overcome with attitude.
This book will serve as a guide to understanding these states of mind and the characteristics of abnormal psychology without any burden.


A year after the publication of 『Case-Based Abnormal Psychology』, the second edition has been released.
The reason is because of the readers' warm interest and encouragement.
This has inspired the author to strive for a more faithful, accurate, and accessible understanding of the psychological problems that cause human suffering and unhappiness, resulting in the second edition.
The second edition has been supplemented and updated to become a guide to abnormal psychology based on the DSM-5 through the addition of case studies, clarity of key questions, refinement of explanations, and in-depth analysis of causes and treatments.
I sincerely hope that through this book, you will acquire sound knowledge of abnormal psychology and be helped to understand human mental problems and find solutions to them.
