Bernstein Reference Center

The Bernstein Reference Center is the gateway to APA information as well as other resources useful to APA members. Dorothy M. Bernstein, M.S., M.D., was an esteemed member of the APA Committee on History & Library. A generous bequest from the estate of Drs. Dorothy and Irving Bernstein supports the Library's virtual library making APA documents available to members online (with selected documents also available to the public). See the Resources section below for APA publications.
