The primary research database in the field of psychology.
PsycINFO provides access to international literature in psychology and related disciplines. Unrivaled in its depth of psychological coverage and respected worldwide for its high quality, the database is enriched with literature from an array of disciplines related to psychology such as psychiatry, education, business, medicine, nursing, pharmacology, law, linguistics, and social work. Nearly all records contain nonevaluative summaries, and all records from 1967 to the present are indexed using the Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms.

The thesaurus feature in PsycInfo allows you to find subject terms, the main topics of the articles, in order to find all articles on that topic.

Click on Thesaurus and search for terms related to your topic, or look at the subject terms on individual articles.
