Dictionary of Psychology

Dictionary of Psychology is recognized as the definitive dictionary of psychology up-to-date, comprehensive, and authoritative. It is unique among dictionaries in providing nearly encyclopedic discussions of many of the most important entries. Dictionary of psychology is vastly expanded to cover the explosion of new words and terms in psychology (including terms reflective of the debate now informing the development of the DSM-V), as well as relevant terms and concepts from a wide range of related fields. The entries are clearly written so that they can be understood by non-psychologists (including general readers), and they feature cross-references so that readers can easily locate all the relevant information on a topic. Dictionary of psychology is written for the working library of a broad and diverse readership of specialists and non-specialists that includes psychologists, psychiatrists, residents, neurologists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, counselors, lawyers, claims reviewers, and lay readers with an interest in psychological issues.
