Key Bibliographical Databases

Oxford subscribes to many scholarly databases. They can be used to locate journal articles, conference proceedings, books, patents, images, data and more. You can find some of the key databases for Psychodynamic Studies listed below. 

In some cases you will find 'full text' items in bibliographical databases but in others you may just see an abstract or summary.  Where this is the case click on the 'Find it @ Oxford' button Find it @ oxford button to find and connect to full text.
