'This 'must read' volume will challenge every researcher to
re-examine their assumptions and approach to research with
families. Munford and Sanders emphasise the positive contribution
research can make through the development of an inclusive research
process. Their model extends the principles of the action research
method by emphasising the contribution of families at each stage of
the research, and dissemination of results through an easily
assessable 'range of research products'. The thought-provoking case
studies articulate the strengths and realities of applying their
model in a wide variety of settings in different countries.' -
Angeline Barretta-Herman, Professor of Social Work, University of
St Thomas'This book tackles the hard issues which are becoming of
vital importance for all researchers. How our research can make a
difference to research participants and our communities, and also
satisfy the needs of other players, are some of the difficult
questions this book addresses. The book's direct approach, and its
inclusion of work from around the globe, make it widely
applicable.' - Professor Jan Fook, La Trobe UniversityDoing
research with families poses particular challenges in social work
and welfare. The families are generally clients of social services,
and can be in a vulnerable position. Also, it is important that
family research contributes to improving practice in clinical and
community work.Making a Difference in Families discusses key
approaches to research with families, including action research,
focus groups and participant observation. Contributors explore both
qualitative and quantitative methods, and examine ways in which
researchers can involve participants in the research process.
Detailed case studies are provided of research in a variety of
settings, and with different kinds of family situations.
