Encyclopedia of Psychology: 8-Volume Set

After more than a century of extraordinary growth and development, the science of psychology at last has a reference source that defines the study of mind and behavior.
Here in eight superbly organized volumes is the definitive guide to every area of psychological theory, research, and practice. International in scope, the Encyclopedia of Psychology is the first place to turn to for authoritative information on every area of the field. Organized alphabetically, the articles range from 500 to 7,000 words in length including 400 biographies. An extensive system of cross-references and blind entries facilitate research from article to article and clarify links within the field. And an exhaustive index locates topics quickly and easily–providing many points of access across areas of interest and fields of study.
The Encyclopedia of Psychology serves a remarkable variety of readers: students and their teachers in every area of psychology as well as in such related fields as sociology, social work, nursing, and allied health; researchers in the cognitive sciences and neurosciences; and clinicians, counselors, and other mental health and human service professionals. It will be the definitive information, research, and reference source for many years to come.

From Booklist

This joint effort of the American Psychological Association and Oxford University Press has more than 1,500 alphabetically arranged, signed entries, including nearly 400 biographies. Eight years in the works, it was edited by Alan E. Kazdin (psychology, Yale) and reflects the efforts of some 1,400 contributors. A veritable who’s who in psychology and its related disciplines forms the panel of editors and writers.

The field of psychology is interdisciplinary, drawing from medicine, sociology, law, and philosophy, among other areas, in its study of myriad issues. The overarching goal of the editors, APA, and Oxford was to produce a thorough encyclopedia that encompassed all recognized approaches and issues and took into account both current and historical theory and practice, with a look at possible future directions. Some of the many dimensions of psychology covered by the essays include psychology as a discipline (including its development, theories, and professional issues and organizations); research methods, design, and analysis; assessment; biological and cognitive processes; personal, interpersonal, and social processes; interactive systems, such as community and family; life-span development; cultural psychology; adjustment and clinical dysfunction; interventions; and the relation of psychology to other disciplines. By using the “Synoptic Outline of Contents” in the last volume, the reader can find all articles related to one of these dimensions or its subtopics. For example, under “Development across the Life Span,” there are listed primary field surveys (e.g., Gerontology, Pediatric psychology), principal entries on life stages (e.g., Adolescence, Infancy), and supporting entries on related issues (e.g., Attachment theory, Divorce, Moral development). An International Advisory Board of editors oversaw the international scope of the content, reflected not only in survey articles on psychology in various countries but also in all entries for which international research and cultural issues have relevance.
