PsycBOOKS is a full-text database of books and book chapters in the American Psychological Association’s array of quality electronic databases. Each month, books published by APA and classic books from other publishers are added to the database. The database offering includes over 1700 titles, including 100 out-of-print books from 1950-2002, approximately 120 archival resources in psychology, and the exclusive electronic release of the APA/Oxford University Press Encyclopedia of Psychology with over 1,500 authored entries.
The database can be searched by specifying keywords that may occur in the article title, abstract, or indexing, or by author names and book titles. Each retrieved record has a link to the corresponding full-text chapter, which is almost always available in PDF format (so Adobe Acrobat reader is needed for viewing). Each record also has a link to the Table of Contents (TOC) for the book in which the chapter is published.
The database can also be searched for content of interest by browsing directly through the book titles and then clicking to the tables of contents for the respective chapters. In addition, an alerting function is available that sends an email to the user notifying them that a new book has been added to the database.
Some Classic Books do not have an ISBN assigned.

| Abstract |
(From the jacket) Although it is common knowledge that physical illness affects mental well-being and vice versa, there has been a surprising lack of cooperation between psychotherapists and medical professionals in serving patients' needs. In a fragmented health care system, psychotherapists need practical strategies for effectively collaborating with medical professionals. The collaborative psychotherapist provides step-by-step guidance on how psychotherapists can work with their medical colleagues on a routine basis. Such skills are illustrated through a variety of case studies involving adult and child patients commonly seen in psychotherapy and family therapy practice. To answer the questions most frequently asked by therapists, the authors interview four veteran therapists and one medical doctor, who provide valuable insider knowledge of how to collaborate successfully. The volume authors also provide advice on how therapists can extend their skills to collaborate more intensively on complex cases that may involve specialists. Among the useful tools in this book are model letters of introduction, suggestions for follow-up communication, and checklists of medical issues to consider when evaluating patients. All of these can be copied freely and modified according to the practitioner's specific needs. After reading this book, readers will be ready to work successfully with their medical colleagues, ensuring the best care for their patients and, as a byproduct, increasing their professional satisfaction and referral base in the community.

| Abstract |
(From the chapter) Among the potentially damaging effects of self-criticism is interpersonal strife. Individuals who are highly critical of themselves often experience struggles in many social domains, including relationships with romantic partners, family members, and friends. These interpersonal difficulties may result from the hypothesized insecurities that self-critical individuals have about attachment and social rank, their tendency to make few requests for social support, their relative lack of interpersonal goals, and the little pleasant affect they feel when acting communally. It is interesting that self-criticism appears to increase the frequency of negative interpersonal events and to increase subjective distress associated with interpersonal stressors. In this chapter we discuss the dynamic function of self-criticism, mediators between self-criticism and interpersonal difficulties, and how self-criticism affects particular interpersonal relationships (e.g., marriages and friendships).

References,
RE=
Lists references published with journal articles, books, and book chapters.
Comprehensive coverage of cited references began in 2001, but references
appear from 1988 on. Additional retrospective references will be added to
the database as they become available. All published references are included
in the PsycINFO record, except those not referring to publications, those
in non-Roman alphabets, and those that cause the character limit of PsycINFO
records to be exceeded.
The references appear in APA-style format, and therefore can be searched
for any information that would be included in that particular citation style.
Search for an author or authors, e.g.: re=(Ko)
Search for a publication year, e.g.: re=(1989)
Search for a specific publication, e.g.: re=(Behavioral Neuroscience)
Search for a publisher, e.g.: re=(Cambridge University Press)
When constructing your search strategy, please keep in mind the large size
of the references field and the numerous citations that one references field
could possibly contain. A search for a specific author and publication year
in the references field could easily retrieve false hits. For example, a search
for re=(costa and 1985) could retrieve the name Costa from citation
number two and the 1985 publication date from citation number twelve.
The use of proximity
operators in your search strategy can help to eliminate false hits. Incorporate
proximity operators into your search strategy to ensure that a search containing
two or more separate data elements only retrieves relevant citations, e.g.:
re=(Costa) within 12 (1985)
Note: Since the references field can be quite large, it may take a longer
period of time for your search results to be retrieved. To eliminate the references
field from your search results, select "Full Record - Omit Refs" from the
drop-down box of viewing formats in either the Quick Search or the Advanced
Search.
