Encyclopedic Dictionary of Psychology by Dr. KUMAR

Psychology is a field which touches everyone’s life in one way or another. For quite some time there has been an extensive requirement for the interpretation of the complex psychological terms in common language. The solution of this problem is the compilation of a volume, which will satisfy his queries in this field. Our aim of compiling this dictionary is to make available useful key concepts for examining the difficult topics of laws, theories, principles, effects, doctrines, and hypotheses in psychology.

The list of entries includes clinical, developmental, educational, historical, occupational, personality, philosophical, physiological, and social psychology; the emotions, ethnology, and learning and memory. Schools of psychology, important practitioners, fundamental concepts, and empirical techniques are also treated in different articles of this book.

The volume attempts in brief to cover broadly the whole area of psychology. The aim of this volume is to make familiar with new terms that have come into usage during recent years and also to include many of the old terms that are used in current psychology literature. It covers all areas of psychology including psychoanalysis, psychiatry, neuroanatomy and statistics. There is comprehensive coverage of mental disorders, manias and phobias.

The aims of this volume is to cater the need for defining many new terms that have come into usage during recent years and also to include many of the old terms that are used in current literature. Due to lack of space we are unable to acknowledge the vast numbers of books, journals and articles we consulted before compiling this volume, but we are indebted to them.
