I have tried a university library search and a brief internet search but
am having difficulty finding references for either of these. Does any
one please have the full titles and sources for the publications that
were mentioned by Dr. Klein. (Colin Martindale' RID and the Harvard
Dictionary of Psychology)
Additionally is anyone aware of any category systems that are readily
available on the web, or can you make any other suggestions regarding
dictionaries of this nature?
Thanks very much. Looking forward to hearing your responses.
Sincerely
