Psychology is of interest to academics from many fields, as well as to the thousands of academic and clinical psychologists and general public who can’t help but be interested in learning more about why humans think and behave as they do. This award-winning twelve-volume reference covers every aspect of the ever-fascinating discipline of psychology and represents the most current knowledge in the field. This ten-year revision now covers discoveries based in neuroscience, clinical psychology’s new interest in evidence-based practice and mindfulness, and new findings in social, developmental, and forensic psychology.
