APA Handbook of Psychopathology
Available formats
Part of the landmark APA Handbooks in Psychology® Series from APA
The APA Handbook of Psychopathology provides a broad perspective on new scientific developments in the study of mental disorders. In addition to providing an overview of symptoms and classification of disorders, the handbook discusses the history of psychopathology, behavioral genetics, cognitive research methodology, brain imaging, behavioral observation, personality assessment, and developments in social policy, government policy, and legal decisions. The handbook also addresses the considerable challenges produced by rapid progress in the field, including the evolution of diagnostic systems that define disorders.
The handbook comprises two volumes: Volume 1: Psychopathology: Understanding, Assessing and Treating Adult Mental Disorders, and Volume 2: Psychopathology in Children and Adolescents. Material on each disorder is presented with a focus upon significant facets: (1) the clinical picture, wherein contributors describe the symptoms of the disorder and its associated features; (2) factors involved in the development of the disorder; (3) relationships or comorbidity with other disorders; and (4) different assessment and treatment approaches. Thus, the handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of research and advances in treatment in the contexts in which behavior abnormalities occur.

Dr. Butcher was born in West Virginia. He enlisted in the U.S. Army when he was 17 years old and served in the airborne infantry for 3 years, including a 1-year tour in Korea during the Korean War.
After military service, he attended Guilford College, graduating in 1960 with a BA in psychology. He received his MA in experimental psychology in 1962 and a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
He was first associate director and then director of the clinical psychology program at the University of Minnesota for 19 years. He was a member of the University of Minnesota Press's MMPI Consultative Committee, which undertook the revision of the MMPI in 1989.
He is a former editor of Psychological Assessment, an APA journal, and he serves as consulting editor or reviewer for numerous other journals in psychology and psychiatry.
During his career, Dr. Butcher was actively involved in developing and organizing disaster response programs for dealing with human problems after airline disasters. He organized a model crisis intervention disaster response for the Minneapolis–St. Paul Airport and organized and supervised the psychological services offered after two major airline disasters: Northwest Flight 255 in Detroit, Michigan, and Aloha Airlines on Maui, Hawaii.
Dr. Butcher has published 64 books and more than 250 articles in the fields of abnormal psychology, cross-cultural psychology, and personality assessment. His publications in psychology include basic research works in abnormal psychology, personality assessment, and the MMPI, including research methodology and computer applications of psychological tests.
