Handbooks and Manuals

Note: Handbooks often provide summations of current knowledge on a topic and discussions of current trends and future research directions. This is a selected list of recent titles on some of the major psychology topics. Because handbooks typically include thematic chapters intended to be read in full, the University of Chicago Library frequently locates them in the bookstacks rather than in reference collections. This list of selected handbooks includes some titles that locate in the bookstacks and are available for circulation.
