Review:

"If you frequently read contemporary psychiatric, psychological, or sociologic literature, you should own this dictionary. That it has continued into a seventh edition is probably more convincing praise than I can give. If you own the sixth edition, you should consider buying the new one: Campbell has added more than 2000 new terms and has taken pains to incorporate new terms and diagnostic criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV of the American Psychiatric Association. And for a book of this size and content, its price is eminently fair."--Annals of Internal Medicine

"Although the volume is titled a dictionary, it serves nicely as an encyclopedia for the more important terms which are not only defined but also described and explained. This makes the volume very convient for the reader...The definitions and accompanying information were clear, accessible, and authoritative....Very useful to a variety of mental health specialists..."--Contemporary Psychology

"...comprehensible to the non-specialist....this work is recommended for libraries supporting degree programs in psychology, counseling, and social work. AS for selection by medical school libraries, the dictionary is a must."--American Reference Books Annual

"Although the volume is titled a dictionary, it serves nicely as an encyclopedia for the more important terms which are not only defined but also described and explained. This makes the volume very convenient for the reader...The definitions and accompanying information were clear, accessible, and authoritative....Very useful to a variety of mental health specialists..."--Contemporary Psychology
