Synopsis

This series of dictionaries provides comprehensive, up-to-date definitions in each subject and are fully cross-referenced. Definitions in these dictionaries are aimed at the level of knowledge of the reader, so that basic terms are explained as though to a novice, while more complex terms are aimed at readers with an assumed greater level of knowledge (although by use of the cross-references provided a more basic explanation can usually be found). The first three volumes in the series cover developmental and cognitive psychology and psychological testing, assessment and treatment. This dictionary provides over 3,000 definitions of key terms in psychological testing, assessment and treatment. These include explanations of all statistical procedures commonly used in psychology; major psychometric and other psychological tests; categories of mental illness, learning disability and brain damage; commonly-used medical terms; basic neuroanatomy and types of psychological therapies.
