'Carter presents critical issues in psychopathology in a clear and organized fashion current with the DSM-5tr. He carefully attends to cultural variations and objectively navigates sensitive issues such as gender identity. His inclusion of `The Power of Words', which introduces the reader to word usage, its role in psychodiagnostics, and its importance for learning empathy, sets this text apart.' Gregory Moffatt, Point University
