Research methods for social workers

de Richard M. Grinnell

Provides 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 interpretive 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.--Publisher website.
