    The APA College Dictionary of Psychology has been indispensable. It’s only been out a few months and I’ve already used it as a reference in four of my summer term undergraduate degree papers. Because it’s only about 500 pages, it’s quite compact. Of course, that means it isn’t as completely exhaustive or comprehensive as the APA Dictionary of Psychology, but you will find almost any psychological topic given a brief description and definition. I know I’ll be using it during the next school year and in the future.
