What's inside?

Now in its 9th edition, this book continues to provide beginning social work students with a straightforward rational approach to understanding how research findings are generated and utilized in the social work profession.

Couched within the positivistic and interpretative traditions, the text's "student friendly" step-by-step coverage is the result of decades of the authors‛ research experiences, and includes all stages of the research process—from selecting an initial research topic to the dissemination of findings.
