This book represents a natural evolution from the author's work with editing assessment reports and is specifically structured to meet the writing and communicating needs of the psychologist assessor. A combination of reference book and tutorial, Writing to Clients elucidates the qualities that create a writer's unique presence on the page with illustrations of correct English grammar, and is appropriate for graduate psychology students and for practicing professionals. In addition to style and grammar, the author details how to write less formal reports in letter form and to write a therapeutic story as an extension of the report for child, teenager, or adult.

Industry Reviews

"Finally! A definitive guide for assessment psychologists and graduate students on how to write professionally and communicate effectively and therapeutically - through written and spoken word. This book will be on my assessment course syllabus and on my shelf!" - Deborah J. Tharinger, University of Texas at Austin, USA

"If you write, you will love this book. Allyn brings back to life all those writing rules and wisdom that rang faintly in the back of my head. Beyond that it clarifies the cutting edge of psychological report writing, including children's stories! It will be required reading for all my students!" - Hale Martin, University of Denver, Colorado, USA

"This book is a great desk reference for the emerging assessor-writer. It serves to build on existing skills in a manner that fosters clear and concise communication to other professionals and clients. As a clinician, it is a great reference to keep close by to always remind myself how to communicate effectively. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to teach report writing at any professional level." - Michelle Casarella Espinoza, Jennifer Kellogg, Matthew R. Baity, Alliant International University, California School of Professional Psychology
