Summary
From the description of the "Best References Sources of 2002" in the Library Journal, referring to the first edition of this work:"This exhaustively researched work fills a visible gap in the literature of psychology by providing a cross-disciplined approach that allows scholars and practitioners to keep abreast of the state of scholarship. Volume 1 offers a history of the field while Volume 2 covers research methods. The remaining volumes are divided into five areas of study (3-7) and applications (8-12). Of interest to professionals and also adjunct fields like medicine and sociology." --Rodney Huddleston and Geoffrey K. Pullum.
