This book is the first on the craft of effective writing structured
expressly for the psychologist-assessor. Author J. B. Allyn, a
professional writer who specializes in psychology, combines
reference book with tutorial. She blends information on the
qualities that create a writer s unique presence on the page with
illustrations of correct English grammar. All of the questions,
answers, and illustrations evolved from the concerns of
psychologist-assessors, as did the examples, which are grounded in
their writing and communication needs. The result creates a guide
for report writing that can be used by either practicing
professionals or graduate psychology students.
The book divides into three sections: The first and third sections
discuss various aspects of effective communication, while the
second is a handbook of common grammar problems. Helpful elements
guide the reader through the text, including frequent bullet lists,
tables and graphs, and grammar and style examples that are framed
around assessment reports. It is also written in a conversational
tone, which creates the same style it proposes for effectively
written reports, and is a key tool for clear and appropriate
communication. Readers will refer back to this book, both for quick
tips on style and grammar, which are appropriate for any mental
health practitioner, and for more detailed advice on writing and
communication in assessment reports.
