Edward Craighead, the fourth edition of the Corsini Encyclopedia of Psychology."The work is extraordinary in scope by virtually any metric. The consistencies of the individual contributions across the many volumes are remarkable in level of depth and style of writing. The <i>Handbook of Psychology</i> is a major work without peer in scope and coverage of the conceptual, empirical, and applied advances of psychology. The volumes provide a status report on psychological science, even though clearly selective in their contents. There are broad issues to raise that span many volumes and areas of our field. Overall the volumes reflect an enormous accomplishment, statement, and status report. There is no other set of volumes I have seen that is as comprehensive, integrative, or enlightening as this <i>Handbook</i>." (Alan Kazdin, <i>PsycCRITIQUES</i>, Vol 58, Release 6 Article 1, 2/16/13)
