On March 20, we added 10 new videos to APA PsycTherapy, our streaming video database designed to meet the teaching and training needs of psychotherapy students and practitioners. Each APA PsycTherapy video is recorded during an unscripted session to provide an authentic example of psychotherapy conducted by an expert clinician.
A few of the videos are highlighted below, followed by a list of remaining new sessions rounding out this release. If you’re a subscriber, use the linked video titles to view the content on APA PsycTherapy!
Every semester, thousands of professors ask their students to purchase a copy of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association to reference as they write papers, read research, and cite sources. With more than 17 million copies sold, we love that students and researchers can use the Publication Manual in various formats: ebook, paperback, tabbed spiral-bound, even Kindle!
Now, for the first time, we will offer a subscription option for institutions: the APA Style Manual. The APA Style Manual was designed to bring the Publication Manual and additional APA Style content to the entire institution through your library.
Want to stay in the know about APA Style Manual availability and updates?
APA Style is used by over 70% of college degree programs, within disciplines such as psychology, nursing, business, education, social work, and more. With APA Style Manual, students and researchers can access the most authoritative information in an easily navigable, accessible, and annotatable format so they can write better papers and communicate with clarity, precision, and inclusion.
The APA Style Manual will provide unlimited online access to the full text of the Publication Manual along with lessons that present APA Style guidelines in a different, approachable way. We have prioritized searchability, so that users can get to the information they need quickly and easily. With access enabled for the entire campus, librarians can set students and researchers up for success and ensure that every patron has access to the APA Style information they need.
We can’t wait to provide more details, including demonstrations, trial and purchase information, and timing of the APA Style Manual’s release.

In this video, you’ll learn how to create an effective search in APA PsycInfo using Thesaurus Terms. We’ll use the APA Thesaurus to look up “DE Subjects” and conduct a search in APA PsycInfo.
In March, APA added 36 new terms to its Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms® to provide more effective searching on current topics, including child health; family therapy; and parenting. This Thesaurus update also includes 25 new cross-referenced terms, and 37 revised scope notes.
New terms from this winter update will initially be applied to current content only; following the Fall 2025 release, the majority of 2025’s new postable terms will be back-mapped to older records.
Using the controlled vocabulary of the Thesaurus means a database search will quickly and accurately retrieve all publications related to a specific concept, regardless of the keywords the authors may have used.
The Thesaurus tool is found on all platforms as part of APA PsycInfo® and redirects synonyms to the preferred “Use” term to include in your search. Each Thesaurus record includes links to broader terms, narrower terms, and related terms, the year the term was introduced, an historical note if applicable, and a scope note providing definition and application.
