Psychological Reports: A Guide to Report Writing in Professional Psychology Books
Product Description
Provides a systematic approach to writing psychological reports for optimal clarity, thoroughness, and impact
A clinical report should have all the clarity and precision of a military send off. Unfortunately, as anyone who deals with psychological reports knows, this is nearly never the case. Extensive research has shown that with most psychologist’s reports, there is a dangerously wide gap between author intent and reader interpretation. Since the quality of clinical reports can have a direct impact on the quality of care a client receives —especially in an age of managed care —it is essential that psychologists arm themselves with a systematic approach to making reports that in structure, content, and style have the greatest clarity, thoroughness, and utility. Psychological Reports, Third Edition, provides them with such an approach.
The book starts with a theory-based analysis of report-writing problems, which is then used to hypothesis a framework for identifying and correcting them. A valuable working resource for involved psychologists and psychotherapists, Psychological Reports, Third Edition, is also must reading for students and psychologists-in-training.
