Eponyms in Psychology

?A work that provides information about psychological eponyms -- terms or phrases in fairly common use among psychologists that incorporate the name of an individual, place, or institution. There are also selected eponyms from fields related to psychology (e.g. education, psychiatry, psycho-analysis). Some examples: Down's syndrome, from John Down, a British physician; Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, developed at the University of Minnesota; the Guttman scale, from American psychologist Louis Guttman. Zusne (University of Tulsa) notes that about 60% of these terms are not found in dictionaries of psychology. More than 850 eponyms are defined; the origins of the term is discussed; and short biographies of eponymous persons are furnished. Biographies include lists of other biographical sources, and the full titles of abbreviated journal and book titles that contain additional biographical information are given at the beginning. This seems to be the only English-language dictionary of psychological eponyms.?-Choice
