Abstract

The first edition of the Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms was published in 1974 by the American Psychological Association to answer a need for controlled vocabulary to represent precisely the literature of psychology and related disciplines contained in Psychological Abstracts and the PsycINFO database. As the field of psychology has grown and evolved, 5 subsequent editions of the thesaurus have improved and extended the original vocabulary of 4.000 postable and nonpostable terms. In addition, several features have been added, including a rotated alphabetical terms section, scope notes, posting notes and in the new sixth editon (1991), an index term clusters section
