We are pleased to announce that Cambridge University students and researchers now have subscription access to APA PsycBooks (via EBSCOhost) from the American Psychological Association (APA). This database provides access to 69,000 full-text, DRM-free chapters from over 4600 peer-reviewed scholarly and professional Psychology books, including reference works. The collection is updated monthly and ranges from the newest APA publications in the field to historical works dating back as far as the 1600s. It will be a valuable teaching and research resource for all branches of Psychology, as well as Clinical Medicine, Education, the History and Philosophy of Science, Sociology and more.

From the homepage users can search for specific topics, narrowing searches by publication year, publication date, age group, population group and intended audience.

Each of the 69,000 plus chapters is fully and expertly indexed allowing users to easily find the specific content they need.

Example of a chapter listing on APA PsycBooks. Click on the image to enlarge.

Notable titles in the database include the APA Handbook of Psychotherapy (two volumes)

From APA: This indispensable handbook captures the most representative ways in which psychotherapists characterize the driving forces behind their foundational therapeutic approaches. The 50 chapters represent the latest thinking and evidence on the most relevant topics across the “big four” psychotherapy domains of theory, research, practice, and training.

• Volume 1: Theory-driven practice and disorder-driven practice
• Volume 2: Evidence-based practice, practice-based evidence, and contextual participant-driven practice

Other highlights include:

• new releases from all titles in the APA Handbooks in Psychology® series, including Psychotherapy (see above), Research Methods, Neuropsychology, and Adolescent and Young Adult Development
• online access to the APA/Oxford University Press Encyclopedia of Psychology (8 volumes)
• APA Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms®, which can be found via the menu bar at the top of the homepage

APA Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms®. Click on the image to enlarge.

The database includes classic texts (many out-of-print and hard to find) and older historical works, offering an insight into developments in the field of psychology over the course of history up to the present day. One of the older works in the collection is A treatise of the passions and faculties of the soul of man, with the several dignities and corruptions thereunto belonging (1656) by Edward Reynolds, bishop of Norwich. His writings range across such hefty subjects as the soul, errors, anger, shame, fear, self-confidence, joy, hope and love. Here is an example chapter:

Of other causes of delight, unexpectedness of a good, strength of desire, imagination, imitation, fitness and accommodation. Of the effects of this passion, reparation of nature, dilatation. Thirst in noble objects, satiety in baser, whetting of industry. A timorous unbelief

For more current writings on psychology, please see below for a sample of available titles from the APA 2024 collection. The hyperlinked titles in the list will take you to the corresponding works on EBSCOhost.

Permanent access to John Dewey works on Intelex Past Masters

After a very successful trial, we are delighted to announce that Cambridge staff and students now have permanent access to the three John Dewey components on Intelex Past Masters. Providing readers with electronic access to Dewey’s works on anything like this scale is otherwise impossible for libraries, and we received particularly strong feedback from Humanities and Social Sciences students and academics in favour of permanent access. We are very grateful to the Whipple Library and the Department of History and Philosophy of Science for contributing to the cost of the purchase. The Dewey components are:

Dewey: Collected Works (Second Release)	https://ezp.lib.cam.ac.uk/login?url=http://www.nlx.com/collections/133
Dewey: Correspondence, I-IV	https://ezp.lib.cam.ac.uk/login?url=http://www.nlx.com/collections/132
