Editorial Reviews

Review

"Thorough but concise definitions remain the norm in this update, and the challenge of encompassing the diverse fields of psychology in a single volume makes this a triumph of cooperative composition and outstanding editing." --CHOICE

“This new edition is an excellent resource for students of all levels as well as practitioners. Recommended for high school, public, academic, and special libraries supporting researchers in mental health fields.” —American Reference Books Annual

    5.0 out of 5 stars Die "Bibel" für alle amtlichen psychologischen Definitionen
    Reviewed in Germany on January 15, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Habe nun die 2. Auflage gekauft, nachdem ich schon seit Jahren die erste benutze. Für alle, die mit psychologischen Definitionen arbeiten, ist dieses Buch unentbehrlich. Aber: wenn man die 1. Aufl. hat, dann unbedingt behalten. Es gibt zahlreiche Begriffe aus der 1. , die in der 2. Aufl. nicht mehr drin sind. Ach ja: die schönen Buchstabeneinschnitte der 1. gibt es nicht mehr. War wohl zu aufwänding in der Herstellung.
