New Additions to PsycBOOKS database!

PsycBOOKS is a full-text database of books and chapters from the American Psychological Association.  (It is also easily the most user-friendly of all e-book resources on the market today!)  If you are researching a topic in psychology, this is an excellent resource. 

Each month new APA titles are added to the database, as well as classic archival texts.  (Unfortunately, the APA Publication Manual is not included.)

New titles added in February include:

1. The development of giftedness and talent across the life span, © 2009, by Horowitz, Frances Degen (Ed.); Subotnik, Rena F. (Ed.); Matthews, Dona J. (Ed.) ISBN: 1-4338-0414-X

2. Integrated behavioral health in primary care: Step-by-step guidance for assessment and intervention, © 2009, Hunter, Christopher L.; Goodie, Jeffrey L.; Oordt, Mark S.; Dobmeyer, Anne C. ISBN: 1-4338-0428-X

3. Interpersonal theory of suicide: Guidance for working with suicidal clients, © 2009, by Joiner Jr., Thomas E.; Van Orden, Kimberly A.; Witte, Tracy K.; Rudd, M. David ISBN: 1-4338-0426-3
