This dictionary is intended for a wide range of readers seeking information on concepts used in modern psychology. The entries embrace the main branches of psychology, theoretical trends and concepts, methods of psychological research, and major aspects of the history of psychology. Because of its concise form, many special notions from engineering and medical psychology, pathopsychology, psychophysics,and other branches of psychological knowledge are not included in the dictionary, while others may be found in more general entries. Italicised cross-references will help the reader to find relevant entries with fuller information on the subject of interest.
The dictionary does not include terms which, though used in psychological literature, actually belong to other branches of knowledge, such as philosophy, pedagogy, anatomy, and physiology. This information may be found in special encyclopaedias and dictionaries.
