Review of previous edition : "Comprehensive, sound, readable, and up-to-date, this is probably the best single-volume dictionary of its kind.Weighty in substance, the work is nonetheless manageable; Colman uses words with grace and economy.Cross references are handled effectively.Browsers will find much food for thought and some intellectual treats.Eager to teach and entertain, Colman offers a list of do-it-yourself demonstrations in the preface. Essential wherever psychology matters."-- Library Journal "An authoritative style, an ability to communicate in clear but concise terms, and extensive knowledge of the subject matter.Andrew Colman appears to possess all of these qualities and his Dictionary of Psychology is the impressive result.

The book has many strengths and is certainly to be recommended.I am pleased to have it on my bookshelf."-- THES (UK) "A useful first port of call."-- The Psychologist (UK) "This book does not give bare definitions, it clothes them with context."-- New Scientist (UK) "The most comprehensive single-volume reference to psychology combines psychiatry and pschoanalysis under one broad umbrella, addressing 10,500 topics"-- Forecast (UK).
