Description:... Responding to growing challenges in social work to base clinical practice on empirical evidence, John Wodarski has developed this research textbook to illustrate the value of empirical perspectives in social work practice and to facilitate the integration of research and practice. Written in an accessible style, the text guides the reader through the development and implementation of various types of empirical research designs. The volume provides concrete tools for effective intervention and builds problem-solving and evaluative components into the intervention process, incorporating a much-needed progressive and systematic approach to social work education.
