This debate style reader is designed to introduce students to controversies in abnormal psychology. The readings, which represent the arguments of leading educators and social commentators, reflect a variety of viewpoints and have been selected for their liveliness and substance and because of their value in a debate framework. Each issue is thoughtfully framed with an issue summary, an issue introduction, and a postscript or challenge questions. "Taking Sides" readers feature an annotated listing of selected World Wide Web sites. An online Instructor's Resource Guide with testing material is available for each volume.
