Jahangiri's Psychiatric Dictionary English-Persian is recognized as the definitive dictionary of psychiatry up-to-date, comprehensive, and authoritative. It is vastly expanded to cover the explosion of new words and terms in psychiatry (including terms reflective of the debate now informing the development of the DSM-V), neuroscience, cognitive and clinical psychology, and neurodegenerative diseases as well as relevant terms and concepts from a wide range of related fields, including genetics, general medicine, forensic psychiatry, general psychology and sociology. It also covers the full range of treatments, including psychopharmacological therapy, behavior & cognitive therapy, and other therapies. The entries are clearly written so that they can be understood by non-psychiatrists (including general readers), and they feature cross-references so that readers can easily locate all the relevant information on a topic. Jahangiri's is written for the working library of a broad and diverse readership of specialists and non-specialists that includes psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, counselors, and lay readers with an interest in mental health issues.

Dr. Hamideh Jahangiri & Dr. Alireza Norouzi prepare a book of psychiatric Dictionary to involve the assistance and cooperation of many people, to whom we are especially grateful. Outstanding scientists selected to review the first draft of this book include Dr. Haraton Davidian, Dr. Mehdi Bigdeli, Dr. Gholamhossein Shokouhi, and Dr. Morteza Nesfat.
