Five Writing Steps:
1. For the introduction, write the thesis statement and give some background information.
2. Develop each supporting paragraph and make sure to follow the correct paragraph format.
3. Write clear and simple sentences to express your meaning.
4. Focus on the main idea of your essay.
5. Use a dictionary to help you find additional words to express your meaning.

Try the library. I'm sure a librarian could find you books to help you get started. Better yet, if there is a medical library in your area, at a college or hospital, you might call them and see if they can help. A lot of medical school libraries will have a librarian on staff that specializes in psychology.

are you writing a research paper? if so, it needs to be apa style definitely. however, in all my psy classes, with all the papers we ever wrote, it needed to be apa format.
here is a fairly decent website...http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
also, if you're going into psychology for your career and even if you don't plan to do any research , you still may want to invest in an apa manual...they're great for papers, posters, presentations, etc.
