This convenient reference defines important mental health terms in clear English, supported by illustrative examples. Over 700 subject entries, varying in length from a single paragraph to a short article, cover modern psychological and psychiatric concepts and terminology. Includes name entries, with emphasis on important teachings, not biographical aspects. Almost every entry ends with cross-references leading to relevant collateral information to help put each psychological concept in context. An index of authorities appears at the back of the Encyclopedia, which guides the reader to ideas and discoveries of contributors in the field of mental health.
