Recent Developments in Studies of the Mind

Reviews the book, International Encyclopedia of Psychiatry, Psychology, Psychoanalysis and Neurology. First Progress Volume by Benjamin B. Wolman (Ed.) (1983). The encyclopedia was intended as a comprehensive reference work for scholars, scientists, and researchers concerned with problems of mental health and the human mind. The First Progress Volume is a five-year update of the "most significant developments" since the twelve volumes were published in 1977. A major strength of the work is the diversity of expert authors, providing a fresh range of views. Most of the articles are original and interesting. Overall, we can highly recommend the Progress Volume as a comprehensive reference work that facilitates continued dialogue among scholars of diverse fields. It is a very valuable tool for the busy scholar who wishes to become generally acquainted with different theories and methods. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
