My dissertation chair recommended this book because it was written by authors highly involved in APA and gives examples relevant to psych students, who inevitably have to figure out how to deal with all those articles they read and review. I found the book comprehensive and extremely helpful. It breaks down each section of the dissertation and walks you through it, then gives a "quiz" at the end of each chapter that will be very helpful when revising that first draft. I would also recommend "Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day" as a moral support companion text. It isn't specifically for psych, but it's great if you're scared to write or angry about having to write. Best of luck to my fellow ABD's!

This book is an oustanding resource for graduate students working on their dissertations or theses as well as for faculty who supervise research. My students have told me repeatedly that this book has greatly helped them in the research process. It is well-written, concepts are clearly explained, and the examples are invaluable. As a Professor, I have recommended this book to almost every doctoral student I meet and have actually given it as a gift to all my students in their first year of graduate school. I most highly recommend it to faculty and students alike. I think it would be especially useful and relevant for a graduate research course.

A surprisingly enjoyable and easy read for anyone starting a thesis or dissertation! Given the subject, it is really fun.

This is, in my opinion, the benchmark book for theses and dissertations. It is comprehensive and concise in laying out how to plan, prepare, and publish capstone documents in higher education.

This book offers practical stratagies to getting started and staying focused. I would definetly resommend it for beginners!

Thanks for the book. It was in great shape, and at a good price.
