This new edition of Social Work Research in Practice: Ethical and Political Contexts explores the intrinsic connection between knowledge, research and practice in social work. The authors argue that through a better appreciation of research, the highest standards of social work can be achieved.
The second edition investigates contemporary approaches which impact on the discourses of social work research, including:
- Evidence-based practice
- User-led research
- Anti-oppressive practice
- Practice-based research
Each chapter has been fully updated with a rich range of case examples and references. Further reading is also included, so that readers can expand their knowledge.
This book is a valuable resource for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as practitioners working in the field of social work.
Heather D'Cruz works as a Consultant: Research and Professional Education.
Martyn Jones is Associate Dean at RMIT University.
