What Other Writers Are Saying

"Succinct and clear, never becoming too esoteric or theoretical for the layperson to understand...[Kaufman] entertains as well as informs the reader with her snappy and conversational style...This book should be in every writer's professional library and every clinician's too—whether writers or not!" —June Goodwin, New York Journal of Books

"Thoughtful, scholarly, comprehensive and a boon to writers aiming for accuracy when depicting the world of abnormal psychology and clinical treatment." —psychologist and bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman

"Every writer who even thinks about creating or explaining a character with a psychological disorder should have a copy on their desk, right next to their dictionary and thesaurus." —international bestselling author Jilliane Hoffman

"As a psychologist, a novelist, and a reader, nothing stops me reading faster than flat characters, phony fictional shrinks, and false diagnoses. Fiction writers can get all the help they need with these problems and more in Carolyn Kaufman's excellent reference, The Writer's Guide to Psychology." —Dr. Roberta Isleib, author of Deadly Advice
