Psychology Medical Terminology Guide (English & Spanish)

A clear, practical, and bilingual psychology reference for today's healthcare professionals and students. Psychology is one of the most communication-sensitive areas of healthcare - especially when discussing symptoms, assessing mental and emotional well-being, explaining evaluations, or supporting patients through difficult conversations. Medical Terminology Guide: Psychology Edition was created to support nursing students, nurses, medical assistants, physicians, interpreters, and allied health professionals who work with Spanish-speaking patients in behavioral health and clinical settings. This guide includes 200+ essential psychology and mental health terms, patient complaints, and clinical communication phrases presented in a clean, modern, easy-to-read format. Each entry features the English term, its Spanish equivalent, and a simple phonetic pronunciation to help non-Spanish-speaking staff communicate clearly, respectfully, and confidently. Whether you're reviewing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, hallucinations, sleep disturbances, or suicidal thoughts - or explaining assessments, diagnoses, and treatment approaches like psychological evaluations, therapy types, coping strategies, and follow-up care - this guide keeps the language you need right at your fingertips.
