Summary:

Following a quick guide to the format of entries, the dictionary defines terms used in clinical psychology from "AA" (the abbreviation for Alcoholic Anonymous) to "Zyprexa" (a trade name for olanzapine) and includes newer terms such as Internet addiction and e-therapy. Entries include the part of speech, abbreviation, etymology, synonym, derived words, and in some cases, cross-references. An appendix lists entries on major figures in the history of the field, psychotherapies, and psychotherapeutic approaches. VandenBos, executive director of the American Psychological Association's Office of Publications and Databases, is the editor of the APA Dictionary of Psychology (2007).
