Rezensionen

In the average psychology degree, there's a whole lot of writing tobe done, and much of it is very stylistically prescribed, and thestudent new to psychology has to quickly develop and use a newvocabulary and understand the demands of examinations, essays,experimental reports, and longer works such as final-year researchprojects. Furthermore, even research reports differ, depending onwhether they are write-ups of quantitative or qualitative research,and so on.

This book is clear, well-structured, readable, enjoyable andhighly informative. Given that students have a lot to learn in thecourse of their studies, any book that propels them forward has tobe welcomed. There are hundreds of volumes on writing, a handful ofwhich are focused on writing in psychology. This, in my opinion, isby far the best of them.

Mark Forshaw, Staffordshire University
