Summary

"[A] reference resource--created not only for psychologists, clinicians, students, and professionals from allied mental health disciplines, but for all interested readers--offers definitive information on the lexicon of the field"--Back coverHave you ever wondered what differentiates a compensatory task from a disjunctive task or what "removing harmful consequences" signifies in professional ethics? Do you know the features of dysexecutive syndrome or what kriging is? How about what developmental psychologists mean by parental perplexity in the context of the parent-child relationship? The beginnings of a better comprehension of these and many other questions can be found in the second edition of the critically acclaimed APA Dictionary of Psychology. -- Provided by publisher
