Product Description
"Dissertations and Theses From Start to Finish: Psychology and Related Fields, Second Edition" aids student writers through all the practical, logistical, and emotional stages of writing dissertations and theses. It offers guidance to students through such important steps as: defining topics; selecting faculty advisers; scheduling time to accommodate the project; and, conducting, analyzing, writing, presenting, and publishing research. Readers will find guiding questions, both mundane and sophisticated, which they may never have considered before, even after coursework in preparation for research writing. Authors have thoroughly updated the text for this new edition to reflect new ethical standards for research, new style manuals, and new texts in statistics, as well as current thinking on behavioral science research. They have also updated the 30+ special elements, adding entirely new checklists, diagrams, and sample parts of research papers. Also new to this edition is up-to-date information on computerized literature searches, writing and statistical software, and use of computers for data and schedule management.

 A friendly and well-written book January 7, 1999
23 out of 23 found this review helpful
This book made the entire dissertation and thesis writing process clear and easy to follow. It is well laid out, allowing the reader to construct their ideas in a logical sequence, with one segment adding on to the next. I also enjoyed the honest observations made by the authors, and this aspect gave me much needed insight as to how to approach faculty and professors about my dissertation and thesis without becoming a burden upon their time and resources. It's also a wonderful general guide for people interested in how to plan, execute, and complete any scientific research. I would highly recommend this book to any student who needs to strengthen their knowledge base about the thesis and dissertation writing process.
A comprehensive step-by-step guide. May 26, 1999

As someone who works privately with students, helping them with dissertations and theses, I highly recommend this book. My doctorate is in Education, and I wish that this book had been available when I was doing my dissertation. Now, when students call me in regard to assistance with their dissertation or thesis, I recommend that they buy this book and use it as an ongoing reference. As the title states, this book takes students through every step of the dissertation or thesis process, from proposal to completion. It is one of the most comprehensive guides that I have come across in recent years.
Excellent! September 22, 1999

For a current graduate student, this book is a easy to follow necessity for someone who is involved in a dissertation! The chapters contain step by step guide that has made the dissertation process more managable and even FUN!

I read this before beginning my own dissertation, and have recommended it to many others. The primary value I got from it was as a motivator to get started - often one of the most difficult steps in writing a dissertation. The information contained in this book will not replace a good mentor, but can be a supplement to a mediocre one.

This book is an excellent guide for planning, preparing, and writing a thesis or dissertation. I am a dean of a small college and we use it as a required textbook for all our doctoral candidates.
