PSY255: Abnormal Psychology (Devane F25)
Reference resources are usually encyclopedias, dictionaries, handbooks, manuals and other books that you refer to when wanting to know a definition of a word or concept, a general overview of a topic, or information about a certain period of time or event in history.
These are great places to START your research and have a general understanding before you deep dive into your specific topic.
