This dictionary uses clear, unambiguous language and examples to introduce basic concepts used in psychology courses. This third edition has been updated and new material added, particularly in the field of health psychology, neuroscience and social and developmental psychology. It also includes vignettes of the most important and famous psychologists, and is aimed at undergraduate and A-level students of psychology.
