Forensic Psychology and Psychiatry News:
Writing to Clients and Referring Professionals about Psychological Assessment Results
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.

Dangerous People is the result of their research, workshopping, and writing.
