Editorial Reviews

Review

"A work that provides information about psychological eponyms--terms or phrases in fairly common use among psychologists that incorporate the name of an individual, place, or institution. There are also selected eponyms from fields related to psychology (e.g., education, psychiatry, psychoanalysis). . . . Zusne notes that about 60% of these terms are not found in dictionaries of psychology. More than 850 eponyms are defined; the origins of the term is duscussed; and short biographies of eponymous persons are furnished. Biographies include lists of other biographical sources, and the full titles of abbreviated journal and book titles that contain additional biographical information is available in many sources. Zusne's Biographical Dictionary of Psychology is among the most helpful. This seems to be the only English-language dictionary of psychological eponyms." -- Choice
