Pros:
-Bright, multi-colored pages with lots of boxes containing definitions, summaries, key points, vignettes, etc.
-Includes DVD with actors pretending to have certain symptoms, giving a depiction of how someone suffering from certain pathologies may appear.
-Wide breadth

Cons:
-Davey mis-represents certain pathologies; The section on Pervasive-developmental disorders is lacking in all departments.
-Davey promotes medication too heavily for my taste, and biases his evidence towards promoting medication with little pointing to the drawbacks.
-Text is not very deep; While Davey provides "recent" research, it is very selective, which may mislead introductory students regarding the etiology, symptoms, and treatment of certain pathologies.

In Sum, if you're an intro student to Psychopathology and not very interested in it to begin with, this is a good text for you. However, if you have a genuine interest in Psychopathology, you'd be better off with a deeper text such as Diagnosis and Treatment of Mental Disorders Across the Lifespan, by Keatinge and Woo.
