This is the second text in the Skills for Practice Series edited by Sally French and Jo Laing. These progressive thought provoking, hot-topic texts deal with contemporary issues in therapy practice. It is aimed specifically at the needs of therapists. It is practical and easy to read. It is relevant to students and teachers. Writing: A Guide for Therapists is a practical, well referenced book which provides the information and guidance necessary to help therapists succeed in all aspects of their writing, whether preparing research reports, essays, clinical notes, student assessments or papers for publication. Written by two well-known authors, the aim of the book is to give therapists the confidence to write. Although well referenced, the book is not intended to be highly academic and theoretical, but rather a practical, down-to-earth guide to the writing and publishing process. 'It is thorough...everything is covered...Anyone really interested in writing is well advised to take a little time to learn good habits as early as possible in their career.' - The Therapist , October 1993. 'The book provides the physicians and medical students with the necessary information and guidance to help them succeed in all aspects of their writing...it's a good buy.' - Saudi Medical Journal , January 1994. 'I think that this book provides a much needed and valuable introductory guide to writing. I would recommend it to undergraduate students, junior therapists, therapists returning to an academic environment and those who simply suffer from writer's block.' A. Ashburn, Southampton University Rehabilitation Unit, Clinical Rehabilitation , 1995.
