Preface<br />
This Instructor’s Manual is designed for instructors to use in conjunction with the Eighth Edition of<br />
<strong>Understanding</strong> <strong>Abnormal</strong> <strong>Behavior</strong> by Sue/Sue/Sue. It is meant to be both a guide to using the text and<br />
a handy reference, filled with numerous teaching aids and ideas for enlivening classroom presentations.<br />
Whether novice or expert, each instructor should be able to select material from these resources to suit<br />
his or her needs.<br />
ORGANIZATION OF THIS MANUAL<br />
The Chapters. This manual contains eighteen chapters that correspond to the textbook chapters. Each<br />
chapter in the manual is filled with teaching suggestions and resources designed to enhance teaching<br />
and learning.<br />
CHAPTER-BY-CHAPTER ORGANIZATION<br />
Chapter Outlines Chapter outlines are one of the most important features in any Instructor’s Manual.<br />
The outlines in this manual are very detailed and highlight critical information for student mastery.<br />
Instructors can follow the outlines and be assured that they will cover all the key material in each<br />
chapter, or instructors can edit the outlines to accommodate their own teaching objectives.<br />
<strong>Learning</strong> Objectives <strong>Learning</strong> objectives, intended to aid students’ mastery of essential facts and<br />
concepts, appear in both the Instructor’s Resource Manual and the student Study Guide; text pages<br />
corresponding to the objectives are also identified. In addition, multiple-choice questions in the Test<br />
Bank are keyed to the learning objectives. This interactive approach to learning is unique and designed<br />
to maximize students’ understanding of text material.<br />
Classroom Topics for Lecture and Discussion At least three topics for classroom lectures and<br />
discussions are given in each chapter. We have chosen topics that are current, complex, and interesting<br />
to students—ones we hope will encourage them to connect abstract principles and theories to their daily<br />
lives. Also, throughout the chapters we have added topics that allow students to think clinically and<br />
make differential diagnoses. Internet annotations are included to support key topics in this section.<br />
These Internet annotations will allow you to have the most current information on a specific topic, thus<br />
enhancing your lectures.<br />
Classroom Demonstrations Every chapter contains at least three classroom demonstrations, selected<br />
for their ability to draw students into many of the issues and challenges confronting abnormal<br />
psychology. Many of the demonstrations come with handouts that can easily be removed from the<br />
perforated manual and copied for classroom use. Internet annotations for the classroom demonstrations<br />
are also included in this section. These Internet annotations will allow you to have the most current<br />
information on the specific demonstration, thus enhancing your effectiveness.<br />
Selected Readings A list of selected readings is supplied in each chapter to support text material and<br />
classroom discussions. The lists comprise many articles and books dealing with important issues in<br />
abnormal psychology.<br />
