Purchase options and add-ons
This key textbook explores how good social work practice draws upon relevant and current research to ensure that interventions are as effective as possible.

Written by leading experts in the field, this text book provides a step-by-step guide to implementing research in to every day social work practice.
This is essential reading for any one taking a research module on Social Work programmes, at undergraduate and postgraduate level, or practitioners wishing to advance their own practise and deliver the best possible service they can.

Verified PurchaseInteresting - different format from other books on social work research. Concepts are immediately illustrated with case examples. This is great for students wondering how research aids practice in real situations. Only the most common concepts are applied in the book. so if the reader needs an in-depth treatment of a many different concepts and research procedures, a more technical book is needed.
