Description: The Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms is a controlled vocabulary used for indexing, cataloging, and searching for psychological information and documents.

Many terms include definitions and historical usage notes. The thesaurus includes nine term clusters, which group terms together by conceptual similarity. The nine clusters are:

1. Computers
2. Disorders
3. Education
4. Legal
5. Neuropsychology and Neurology
6. Occupational and Employment
7. Statistical
8. Tests and Testing
