Más información sobre el libro

Widely used for many years by both students, scientists and other specialists, as well as translators, the two-volume German-English / English-German Dictionary of Psychology and Psychiatry is the most exhaustive bilingual compilation of terminology in these fields available. In this brand new edition, the Dictionary of Psychology and Psychiatry has been fully revised and updated, and substantially expanded by the addition of new entries. For instance, all the terms and vocabulary from the field of psychiatry has been carefully reviewed and brought up to date by inclusion of the terminology used in DSM-IV and ICD-10, as well as numerous other entries from this evolving area. The increasing standardization of scientific terminology in psychiatry has thus been taken account of in the new edition. Overall, around 4,000 terms from the fields of psychology and psychiatry have been added in this new edition, bringing the total to around 35,000 in each language. In addition to numerous words and terms from psychology and psychiatry in general that have been added, particular importance was also placed on including new terminology from the areas of biological psychology, personality psychology, methodology, and computer-based assessment, as well of course as relevant terms from fields such as computing and the internet. At the same time, corrections and changes of usage since the previous edition have been included, and some terms that have in the meanwhile become obsolete have been removed. The new German spelling and orthography is used throughout.
