Locating the place of social work research within the social sciences, this innovative book promotes critical debate to strengthen both the research base and day-to-day practice. It is designed to encourage 'reflective research practitioners' - professionals who are both critically reflective and research aware - and does so by:
- Presenting a range of approaches within research
- Highlighting distinctive aspects of social work research, such as emancipatory
- Research and researching sensitive topics
