Media Reviews
In the average psychology degree, there's a whole lot of writing to be done, and much of it is very stylistically prescribed, and the student new to psychology has to quickly develop and use a new vocabulary and understand the demands of examinations, essays, experimental reports, and longer works such as final-year research projects. Furthermore, even research reports differ, depending on whether they are write-ups of quantitative or qualitative research, and so on. This book is clear, well-structured, readable, enjoyable and highly informative. Given that students have a lot to learn in the course of their studies, any book that propels them forward has to be welcomed. There are hundreds of volumes on writing, a handful of which are focused on writing in psychology. This, in my opinion, is by far the best of them. Mark Forshaw, Staffordshire University Written in a style that is clear, direct, and concise, How to Write in Psychology is an indispensable handbook for students - a must for anyone starting a BSc Psychology course, or preparing their final year project.
