Description
This new and revised edition gives definitions and examples of the past use for over 17,000 terms used in psychology, psychiatry and related fields, including terms borrowed from other disciplines and everyday language. It also aims to resolve some of the problems raised by psychological terms. As well as focusing on what a given technical term means, the author shows how the term is actually employed, its connotations and how it has been used – and abused – in the past.
