Here are the places that I got most of the terms and definitions in my glossary:

For the special education terminology, and etc.:
Children with Disabilities, 6th edition, by Mark L. Batshaw, Louis Pellegrino, and Nancy J. Roizen (2007). I used an earlier
edition of this book when I was a masters student at the University of Alaska. It was my most favorite book and most marked-in. This
updated version is wonderful as well because there are always new genetic findings for several disorders. THANKS for this book!!!

For the Freudian terminology:
http://www.terrapsych.com/freud.html The terminology on this site is by a guy named Craig Chalquist, MS PhD. He is hilarious. I tried
to change the words to make them my own, but changed my mind because his are perfect. THANKS!! (By the way, click the link and look
at this site, fun fun fun)

For most of the Jungian terminology:
http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/jung.html. This is a great look at Jung's life and theories by Dr. C. George Boeree. Excellent. Visit.
There is a book of Jungian terminology that is online, you can go there for a comprehensive look at Jung. It is by a guy named Daryl
Sharp. http://psychceu.com/Jung/sharplexicon.html

For the human development stuff:

For the children's literature stuff:

For the early childhood education stuff:
