In this thoroughly revised and updated version, Hugh McLaughlin
offers an accessible and authoritative guide to the nature of
social work research. With a new introduction and the inclusion of
up to date case studies, the book clearly demonstrates how
research-mindedness is key to improving social work practice.
Containing case examples, reflective questions and chapter
summaries the book takes a student-friendly approach throughout.
National and international contexts are reviewed to demonstrate
best practice in social work decision making.
The Second Edition considers research in relation to a number of
important social work themes, including ethics, anti-oppressive
practice, service user research, evidence-based practice and
interprofessional work. The book will help readers: critically
reflect on their own social work practice; assess, appraise and
apply research; effectively advocate on behalf of service-users;
confidently engage in debates about the profession; and reflect on
legislative and policy developments.
Understanding Social Work Research is a clear and accessible
guide to the subject. The book will provide invaluable support to
undergraduates, graduates and practitioners working in the field of
social work.
