"The all-encompassing scope and scholarship...make [it] an essential acquisition."—Reference Books Bulletin/Booklist

The product of a unique collaboration between the American Psychological Association and Oxford University Press, the Encyclopedia of Psychology is a state-of-the-art synthesis of classic and contemporary knowledge. In more than 1,500 original articles written by distinguished scholars, the Encyclopedia gives shape to a richly diverse science—as it offers unequaled access to the distinctive contributions psychology has made, and continues to make, to our understanding of human behavior.

International in scope and written for a wide range of readers, the Encyclopedia of Psychology is the first place to turn to for authoritative information on every area of the field—and for answers to literally thousands of questions about concepts, methods, theories, findings, major figures, schools of thought, and emerging areas of interest.

Organized alphabetically, the articles cover an extraordinary range of topics, from explanations of the latest advances in the cognitive and neurosciences to introductions to every major psychological test, therapy, and mode of treatment. They offer balanced coverage of such core areas as human development and clinical psychology, evolutionary psychology, and cross-cultural contexts of the field, as well as 400 biographies of leading figures.

Designed for a wide range of users—students, teachers, researchers, and practitioners, as well as general readers—the Encyclopedia is a comprehensive, authoritative, and easy to use resource that will be the definitive work of its kind for many years to come.
