"Confused by the 'cone of confusion'? Andrew Colman, psychology professor at the University of Leicester, Midlands, United Kingdom, and a British Psychological Society Fellow, has created an excellent dictionary that clarifies definitions of the most significant and difficult terms in the field of pyschology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and other related fields. Reasonably priced, this dictionary will be a terrific addition to any library."--"Outstanding Reference Sources," American Libraries, May 2002.
