Based in New York City's historic SoHo neighborhood, Guilford Publications, Inc., was founded in 1973, with a full-time staff of one. We've since grown to over 75 times that number—and have built an international reputation as a publisher of books (both print and electronic), periodicals, software, and audiovisual programs in mental health, education, and the social and behavioral sciences. Our independent identity, stability, and commitment to quality make us a rarity in today's rapidly conglomerating publishing world. The firm is wholly owned by its two founding partners, president Bob Matloff and editor-in-chief Seymour Weingarten, who remain actively involved in its day-to-day business, and many staff members have been at Guilford for more than 20 years.
Guilford is dedicated to bringing well-written, solidly researched work to professionals, academics, and general readers. Our balance of continuity and innovation has enabled us to foster lasting relationships with authors as well as customers, and to produce and market numerous enduring titles. With more than 1,250 titles in print, we typically publish 90+ new books each year. The company also publishes 13 journals and 2 newsletters, as well as video productions and software programs. Our e-books program currently includes over 500 titles, available through libraries, on Amazon Kindle, and from other e-book vendors. Most new and recent titles are available in both e-book and print formats. Please visit our e-books page regularly to browse available subject areas and new titles.
This website has been designed to make it simple to find exactly what you're looking for. You can view complete information on all in-print titles (and share it with your social networking contacts), including tables of contents, reviews, full-chapter excerpts for selected titles, and samples of reproducible handouts and forms. The site also includes news about Guilford authors, special offers, electronic mailing lists for early notice on releases in specific fields, desk and exam copy information for instructors, information on publishing with Guilford, and job listings.
Google book search on the Guilford website makes searching our titles easier than ever. This function allows you to view entire pages that contain your keyword or phrase. You can search a wide array of Guilford books or search an individual book (from the book's product page). Of course, you can also still search for Guilford products by title, author, or keywords to find the resources that meet your needs.
