methods. The range of entries extends to related disciplines including psychoanalysis,
psychiatry, the neurosciences, and statistics. Entries are extensively cross-referenced
for ease of use, and cover word origins and derivations as well as definitions.
More than 100 illustrations complement the text.

This fourth edition has incorporated a large number of significant
revisions and additions, many in response to the 2013 publication of the American
Psychiatric Association's latest edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders, bringing the Dictionary fully up to date with
the most recent literature of the subject.
In addition to the alphabetical
entries, the dictionary also includes appendices covering over 800 commonly used
abbreviations and symbols, as well as a list of phobias and phobic stimuli, with
definitions.
Comprehensive and clearly written, this dictionary is
an invaluable work of reference for students, lecturers, and the general reader
with an interest in psychology.
