In that time it has been recognized by the American Library Association as an "Outstanding Reference Book" (1973) and has become the standard reference in psychology, psychiatry, and related disciplines. Suitable for every level of interest, the new edition of the Dictionary contains more than 20,000 terms in psychology, broadly defined, including psychiatry, psychoanalysis, neurology, psychopharmacology, biochemistry, endocrinology, and related fields. Covering recent developments and discoveries, each item of the Dictionary has been carefully examined, and numerous items have been revised and added.

This quote approved for promotional use, 11/89 LK
Modern psychology has a variety of professional interests; no one person can keep up with the terminology used in its many sub-fields. Whenever I am in doubt as to the meaning of a word or phrase, I immediately reach for Wolman's Dictionary. It's my first choice for quick enlightenment.
--Joseph M. Notterman, Professor at Princeton University
This quote not approved for use_
I'm delighted to have it [the Dictionary] for my personal professional library. It is excellent--extensive in its breadth of coverage, crisp and clear in its individual entries. Based on my own knowledge of certain areas in psychology, I find the individual entries very well done, indeed. Especially helpful are the biographical entries, that include living scholars. This directory should be a valuable desk-top tool for both students and scholars alike.
--William Bevan, Vice President, John D. and Catherine T. Mac Arthur Foundation
