Publisher Description

This revision of Marlow's accessible research methods text offers students a clear and very down-to-earth introduction to the concepts of research methodology. By consistently showing students the links between social work research and generalist social work practice and by making the methodology easy to grasp, Marlow helps social work students see the relevance of research to their lives on the job as social work practitioners. Reflecting CSWE requirements for a global perspective, Marlow's Second Edition includes examples drawn from the international social work literature and includes contributions from a South African author.
