The PsycINFO database covers the professional and academic literature in psychology and related disciplines including medicine, psychiatry, nursing, sociology, education, pharmacology, physiology, linguistics, and other areas. Coverage is worldwide, and includes references and abstracts to over 1300 journals (and in PsycINFO, to dissertations) in more than 30 languages, and to book chapters and books in the English language. Over 50,000 references are added annually. Popular literature is excluded.
This database offers Ovid Mapping, which is explained in the document entitled .
The following alphabetical list provides the two letter label, the relevant alias, and at least one example for all searchable PsycINFO fields:

Abstracts (AB) written or edited by APA are included for all journal
articles. APA abstracts are informative, containing information
specifically targeted to be of use with various forms of literature.
For example, experimental and empirical articles will always contain
the purpose of the study, the hypothesis, the subject population,
methodology, results and significant conclusions. Names and genres
of instruments used are included wherever possible, as well as names,
dosage and route of administration of drugs.
The abstract index contains all searchable words from the abstract.
Stopwords, such as the and of, are not searchable in abstracts.
AF All Searchable Fields
drug abuse.af.
Use the AF label to simultaneously search in all searchable fields in
the database.
AG Age Group [Phrase Indexed]
adulthood.ag.
infancy.ag.
The Age Group (AG) field contains a standardized description of specific
population age groups related to the content of the document. A record
may contain multiple Age Groups:
100 - Childhood (birth to 12 yrs)
120 - Neonatal (birth to 1 mo)
140 - Infancy (2 to 23 mo)
160 - Preschool Age (2 to 5 yrs)

AN, UI Accession Number [Phrase Indexed]
1993-97948-000.an.
1995-85736-001.an.
The Accession Number (AN) field appears in every PsycINFO record, and
uniquely identifies the record. You can retrieve any specific record in
the database with its accession number.
A record's accession number contains 12 numeric characters with hyphens,
structured as follows:
YYYY-NNNNN-LLL
YYYY = year record was processed
NNNNN = sequence of processing within a particular year; includes
leading zeros
LLL = sequence of record within a journal issue or book; will consist of
zeros for Book records
Examples:
1997-18451-000 (Book record)
1997-18451-001 (Chapter record from above book)
1997-00388-002 (Journal Article, Dissertation, or Report record)
1997-00388-003 (Journal Article record from same journal issue as above)
For browsing convenience, the Publication Type displays to the left of
the AN, but is searchable only in the PT field.
AU Authors [Phrase Indexed]
smith alan j.au.
smith-$.au.
smith$.au.
The Author (AU) field contains the names of individual persons
responsible for creation of the work represented by record. If all
authors are not included, the last name listed is followed by et al.
The author names are entered into the index as they appeared in the
original document, in the format of last name followed by first and
middle names or up to two initials. Thus, a person named James C.
Smith may appear as Smith James C, Smith J. Charles, Smith J C or
Smith J.
Patronymic suffixes such as Jr., Sr., III, and so on are included for
display but are not indexed, as are non-author roles which include:
Editor (Ed), Compiler (Comp), Translator (Trans), Illustrator (Illus),
Photographer (Photo), and Reviewer (Revwr). If no role is indicated, the
role may be that of author.
Data in the author field may also comprise one or more of the following
special cases:
et al--subsequent authors were not captured, although they exist
No authorship indicated--the documents lists no author
Anonymous--the document identifies the author as Anonymous
Numerous contributors--the record represents a cluster of chapters,
the author of which are identified in the Abstract field (rare).
BT, BK Parent Book Title [Word Indexed]
therapy.bt.
The Parent Book Title (BT) field appears in chapter records only, and
contains the title of the parent book in which the chapter appears.

CC Classification Codes [Phrase Indexed]
2223.cc.
"222".cc.
"22".cc.
Classification Codes (CC) are 4-digit numbers representing broad subject
categories within PsycINFO such as Learning and Motivation or
Linguistics, Language, and Speech. Searching the CC codes is a
convenient way to limit an existing subject search to a particular
setting (such as treatment, education, and so on) or area.
The numerical CC codes are stored in the index. To view and select from
the hierarchical list of codes and their scope notes, use the
Tools/Classification Codes option.
CF Conference Information [Word Indexed]
psychoanalytic.cf.
Many books and articles contain material that was originally presented
at conferences. The Conference Information (CF) field contains the
name, number, date and location of a conference at which the content of
the document was presented.
Individual words are posted in the conference information index.
Standard abbreviations such as those used for institutions are used for
the institutional and geographical portions of the CF field, as in the
following: College (Coll), Company (Co), Department (Dept), Hospital(Hosp),
and so on. See the Database Chapter for a complete list of standard
abbreviations.
CW Classification Code Word [Word Indexed]
vocational.cw.
Classification Codes Words (CW) is a word index of the Classification
Codes field (CC).
FC Form/Content Type [Phrase Indexed]
longitudinal study.fc.
program evaluation.fc.

0-7914-1059-5.ib.
0080343074.ib.
The ISBN (IB) field contains the International Standard Book Number,
and any qualifying text in parentheses. The qualifying text denotes
binding type, volume number(s), publisher, and the publisher location
for which the ISBN was assigned.
The ISBN appears as a number separated by hyphens. Its purpose is to
identify uniquely a book title, an edition of a book, or a monograph
produced by a specific publisher. Each ISBN number consists of ten
digits separated into the following parts:
Group identifier (national, geographic, language, or other group)
Publisher or producer identifier
Title identifier
Check digit
However, despite this standard format, ISBN's vary enormously on the
source documents. For example:
971-539-001-3
92-0-105595-1
0-913235-91-1
1-880653-23-0
0-08-042903-3
Consequently, they have also been put into the index without spaces or
dashes. You may search the ISBN with or without hyphens.
The IB field is available in book and chapter records added to PsycINFO
since 1987.
ID, KP Key Phrase Identifiers [Word Indexed]

Ventilatory response to cholecystokinin tetrapeptide in anaesthetized

Abstract
Examined the ventilatory response to cholecystokinin-tetrapeptide (CCK-4)
injections in 7 anesthetized dogs, with implications in the genesis of
panic disorder. Arterial blood pressure, and spontaneous respiratory and
ventilatory responses were measured before and after the injections.
Results show that there was a significant immediate and transient increase
in minute ventilation, lasting 1-2 min. Repeated CCK-4 injections produced
a reduced response, suggestive of a slight degree of tachyphylaxis. Blood
pressure and heart rate changed only slightly, while respiratory
mechanical parameters remained unchanged, following the CCK-4
administration. Thus, CCK-4 has a significant effect on ventilation in the
anesthetized dogs, suggesting that this species may provide a useful
quantitative assay for the anxiogenic effects of CCK. ((c) 1997

The 1st section of the volume puts hypnosis and hynotherapy with children
in its historical context. The authors review early contributions to the
field, starting from the late 18th century. Moving into the present day,
chapters describe the theoretical framework for hypnosis with children and
the wide variety of induction techniques and strategies now available to
the practitioner.
The 2nd . . . section focuses on clinical applications. . . . Integrated
throughout is substantially enriched clinical case material, illustrating
the use of specific techniques and providing examples from actual hypnosis
sessions. . . . [The book is] a resource for child health professionals
including child psychotherapists and psychiatrists, pediatricians, family
physicians, nurses, and school counselors. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all

will provide some valuable insights and findings to advance our
understanding and analysis of substance use, and to improve treatment of
substance abuse and addiction. . . . Contemporary research and theory in
substance use and abuse exemplify the value of transdisciplinary work.
Behavioral economics, combining the psychologist's laboratory-based
experimental analyses of behavior with the economist's conceptual and
empirical breadth and richness, represents 1 of the contemporary
transdisciplinary themes. In this volume of "Advances," researchers from
the disciplines of economics, psychology, and pharmacology present recent
empirical and theoretical work informed by a behavioral-economic
perspective. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Abstract
(from the introduction) conventional models of social support view it as a
class of resources . . . that assists an individual in coping with stress
or that facilitates appropriate behavior / suggests an alternative
framework within which to conceputalize and study the effects of social
support, one derived from a behavioral-economic perspective / suggests we
view social support as a commodity or reinforcer in its own right, one
that is substitutable for other reinforcers such as nicotine / contrasts
predictions that derive from the behavioral-economic model of support as a
reinforcer substitutable for other reinforcers with those from a model of
support as an instrumental resource, and articulates implications for
intervention strategies ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)
