Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
In recent years, a number of dictionaries of psychology have been published, among them David Statt's The Concise Dictionary of Psychology (3d ed., Routledge, 1998), Raymond J. Corsini's Dictionary of Psychology (Brunner/Mazel, 1999), Arthur Reber's Penguin Dictionary of Psychology (3d ed., Penguin, 2001), and Jon Roeckelein's Dictionary of Theories, Laws, and Concepts in Psychology (Greenwood, 1998). This latest addition carves a spot for itself by increasing coverage of the technical terminology of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, psychopharmacology, and statistics, not always covered in previous psychological dictionaries. It also continues the traditions of earlier psychology dictionaries in covering the more widely used terms.
Entries include parts of speech, numbered senses (with the sense that is most common in psychology literature appearing first), synonyms, alternate forms, and cross-references. Etymological or word origin information is provided for many terms. When a term was coined by an individual or originated with a person's name (Weber's law, Purkinje cell), the individual's birth and death dates are noted. British spellings are employed.
Physically, this is an attractive and comfortable dictionary to use. Even with 10,500 entries, or an average of 11 and one-half per page, the pages do not appear crowded. Dictionary entries are followed by two appendixes. The 20-page "Phobias and Phobic Stimuli" lists phobias by their technical names, noting their stimuli and etymologies, and also lists stimuli (ageing, spiders) for those unsure of the technical terms. Appendix 2 defines 700 abbreviations and symbols. The list of principal sources is more than three pages long and includes subject dictionaries, companion volumes, research methods, statistics, subject encyclopedias, and more. This list in itself would be useful as a benchmark against which a research library might judge its reference collection in psychology and related areas.
This dictionary is a required addition to larger public and academic libraries where users seek information in the social, biological, and medical sciences. It is both classic and futurist, bringing together theory and practice and physical, emotional, and historical concepts used within the widening scope of psychology. It is a great value for the price and would also be a welcome addition to any social scientist's personal library. RBB

From Library Journal
Joined by a distinguished group of advisory editors, prolific author and editor Colman (psychology, Univ. of Leicester, U.K.) offers more than 10,500 definitions of terms in psychology. The entries range from neuroanatomy and psychoanalysis to statistics and pharmacology, and they often cover etymology and history as well as language. Weighty in substance, the work is nevertheless manageable; Colman uses words with grace and economy, offering many entries (e.g., trademark drug names and their chemical names) of only a sentence or two. Longer entries, e.g., "Blood-Brain Barrier," "Rorschach Test" (with Leonardo da Vinci as forerunner!), "Love," and "False Memory," are more explanatory. Cross references are handled effectively; for example, users will find that "Onanism" is another name for "Coitus Interruptus" or (less correctly) "Masturbation." Browsers will find much food for thought and some intellectual treats, like "Monty Hall Problem" (made famous by Marilyn vos Savant's Parade column) and the difference between animal magnetism and hypnosis. Eager to teach and entertain, Colman offers a list of do-it-yourself demonstrations in the preface. Comprehensive, sound, readable, and up-to-date, this is probably the best single-volume dictionary of its kind. A visit to the American Psychiatric Association's library revealed that it is also the newest such work in many years. Essential wherever psychology matters. E. James Lieberman, George Washington Univ. Sch. of Medicine, Washington, DC

Format:Taschenbuch
Dieses Buch ist ein hervoragendes Nachschlagewerk für alle, die mit Psychologie konfrontiert werden. Gerade für Biologen, Mediziner und Nebenfachstudenten das wohl handlichste und auch preisgünstigste Werk.
Es gab bisher noch keinen Begriff, den ich in diesem Buch nicht gefunden hätte.
Trotz Taschenbuchformat gehört es mit über 10500 Einträgen zu den "ganz Großen".
Dieses Buch ist absolut zu empfehlen!

Great Value!
30. November 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
I have never seen a one-volume dictionary of psychology that comes close to this book in its exhaustive coverage of topics in the field of psychology. It seems like every time I see a book with the word "Oxford" on the cover it's a sure bet that I'm going to give it five stars.
Although I haven't read the entire book (who reads a whole dictionary?) I won't rule out doing so in the future.

An Awesome Psychology Reference Tool
21. Dezember 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Ideal for professional psychologists and general readers alike. I discovered this book in the library and I was highly impressed with both the content and the presentation of the material. I have been involved with and interested in psychology for many years. With over 10,500 psychology-related entries, this new psychology dictionary is the most up-to-date reference of its kind available. It covers all areas of psychology including psychoanalysis, psychiatry, neuroanatomy and statistics. There is comprehensive coverage of phobias and phobic stimuli and mental disorders.

Not Too Long, Not Too Short
24. Juli 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
One aspect of this dictionary that particularly impressed me is that terms or concepts defined seem to be just the right length; they are not too short, nor needlessly long or convoluted. Speaking of convoluted, I am sometimes reading a book in the field of Psychology and become exasperated on encountering a windy discussion of a term so I head for the DofP and everything becomes crystal clear.
Another interesting thing is that Dr. Coleman often describes the evolution of a term, i.e. how it became part of the psychological language. The various psychological disciplines are well represented including social psychology, statistics, testing, psychology of mind and neuroscience, clinical psychology including diagnostic nomenclature, and the obligatory Freudian terms. A smattering of medical terms is included along with words from philosophical psychology and psycho-physics.
Having been educated in the field of Psychology it's hard for me to put myself in the place of someone with no exposure to Psych, but I feel that that the intelligent layman should have little difficulty understanding most of the definitions.
If you can afford it this dictionary is, in my opinion, greatly superior to the Penguin Dictionary of Psychology.
Another excellent book to consider is the 1000 page Oxford Companion to the Mind. While oriented toward brain-mind processes it provides the reader with a wide variety of essays in Psychology. The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Social Psychology is another good reference volume, but I think it is now out of print.
