Summary: This book is about more than just a few people who behave in strange ways. To be sure, extreme kinds of abnormal behaviour are discussed here in detail- for example, in the two chapters on schizophrenic behaviour, a subject that has generated a large body of compelling new research. But Abnormal Behaviour also gives attention to problems of living that are far more common; fear of anger, fear of intimacy, depression, learning difficulties, marital conflict, drug misuse, and violence. In fact, at some time in our lives, each of us will encounter- in ourselves or in someone close to us-one or more of the problems discussed here. Thus the book is, in a sense, for and about all of us.
