From the Preface: "We take an eclectic, multicultural approach to the field, drawing on important contributions from various disciplines and theoretical stances. ... We believe that different combinations of life experiences and constitutional factors influence behavioral disorders, and we project this view throughout the text. These combinations of factors are demonstrated in ourmultipath model , which is a way of looking at the causes of disorders new to the Ninth Edition. There are several elements to our multipath model. First, the contributors to mental disorders are divided into four dimensions: biological, psychological, social, and sociocultural. Second, factors in the four dimensions can interact and influence each other in any direction. Third, different combinations within the four dimensions may cause abnormal behaviors. ... Finally, different disorders may be caused by similar factors."
