"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.

Summary: Just work with your committee
Comment: I bought this book because my thesis committee chair specifically recommended it. Then he told me to change some of the basic elements of the written product which were modeled after this book. I doubt that this is a reflection of the quality of this book, but rather a reflection of the nature of thesis committees.

Summary: Dissertation Relieve
Comment: As I enter the unknown world of writing my doctoral dissertation, I have found much comfort in this book. The book is not a tutorial on how to write your dissertation or thesis, rather it is a book on how to arrange your daily life as well as to alleviate any myths you may have about the process. The book has alot of good tips and checklists to help you ensure you are on the right path and you know what to expect.

Summary: Dissertation Assistance
Comment: This book is written in a personal format that pulls the reader in as being personally coached by two professors. While there may be dissertaions for dummy's, doctoral students are not dummy's and should use this book to assist with the doctoral journey.
