A propos du livre

Revue de presse

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."

Dean D′Souza, BPS Student Rep
