This Encyclopedia is the first attempt in a generation to map the social and
behavioral sciences on a grand scale. It is the largest reference work ever
published for the social and behavioral sciences and the first to appear in

articles, commissioned by 52 Section Editors, and includes 90,000
bibliographic references.

… The editors, along with the volume editors deserve high praise for putting
together such an important, ambitious and comprehensive project." - Contemporary
Psychology, 2000
Covering anatomy, physiology, neuropsychology, clinical neurology,
neuropharmacology, evolutionary biology, genetics, and behavioral science,
this four-volume encyclopedia contains over 200 peer reviewed signed articles
from experts around the world.
"Lavishly illustrated, the
Encyclopedia includes over 1000 figures, many in full color. Managing both
breadth and depth, the Encyclopedia is a must-have reference work for life
science libraries and researchers investigating the human brain."
The Encyclopedia covers the major psychotherapies currently in practice as
well as the classical approaches that laid the foundation for the various
contemporary treatment approaches. In addition, it identifies the scientific
studies conducted on the efficacy of the therapies and reviews the theoretical
basis of each therapy.
