About

Taking case histories from actual clinical experience beyond the diagnosis to describe the individual's history and symptoms, Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology presents a theoretical discussion of treatment, a specific treatment plan, and the actual treatment conducted to help you see the full process in working with abnormal psychology patients. Also included are three "You Decide" cases -- written without diagnosis or treatment, enabling you to identify disorders and suggest appropriate therapies.

Ronald J. Comer

Ronald Comer has been a professor in Princeton University’s Department of Psychology for the past 46 years, also serving for many years as director of Clinical Psychology Studies and as chair of the university’s Institutional Review Board. In 2016 he transitioned to emeritus status at the university. He has received the President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching at Princeton, where his various courses in abnormal psychology were among the university’s most popular.

Professor Comer is also Clinical Associate Professor of Family Medicine and Community Health at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He has also been a practicing clinical psychologist and served as a consultant to Eden Autism Services and to hospitals and family practice residency programs throughout New Jersey.

In addition to writing the textbooks Abnormal Psychology (eleventh edition), Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology (ninth edition), Psychology Around Us (second edition), and Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology (second edition), Professor Comer has published a range of journal articles and produced numerous widely used educational video programs, including The Higher Education Video Library Series, The Video Anthology for Abnormal Psychology, Video Segments in Neuroscience, Introduction to Psychology Video Clipboard, and Developmental Psychology Video Clipboard.

Professor Comer was an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania and a graduate student at Clark University. He currently lives in Boynton Beach, Florida, with his wife, Marlene. From there he keeps a close eye on his nearby grandchildren Delia and Emmett, somehow making the same mistakes with them that he made with their father Jon and uncle Greg a generation ago. Then again, that turned out pretty well.
