APA Concise Dictionary of Psychology - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This abridged version of the 2006 APA Dictionary of Psychology manages to provide broad coverage of the field's many subspecialties and approaches, though the publisher notes that some categories have been abbreviated: e.g., animal behavior, artificial intelligence, consumer psychology, genetics, legal psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy. Entries from "AA" (Alcoholics Anonymous) to "zygote intrafallopian transfer" (a type of in vitro fertilization) include the etymology of the term, synonyms, derived words, namesake (in cases of eponymous disorders), and cross-references. The reference includes a quick guide, and appended lists of major historical figures and psychotherapeutic approaches. Reader feedback is invited.
