Excellent resource and students will find the content very accessible whilst undertaking their research proposal assignment and dissertation, and will assist them to develop a research minded approach to their continuing studies and well into their qualified practice.

Excellent text for final year social work students and postgraduate practitioners. The use of reflexive questions throughout the book assists the student to frame questions from the chapter concerned. Practice examples are also given which make the research pragmatic.

This text book was accessible for year 2 undergraduate students. Well received and applicable concepts about research. A solid and logical approach presented by the author.

A really useful book for undergraduates. It is clear in its presentation and written in a style easily understandable.

A really useful book for both undergraduates and postqualifying student.

Clear style that is easily understood and a very good addition to my reading list.

This is a text which allows students returning to PQ type courses a clear path into understanding and using research.

This text has been received very positively by my students studying the module entitled Evidence Based Practice. The style is very accessible to social workers, relevant and interesting, with a clear link between the academic community and practice.

This book will provide much food for thought for students embarking upon their own research, as well for those casting a critical and reflective eye on existant research. Whilst primarily aimed at social work students it will also be helpful for a wider audience of students studying within the field of social studies.

This text provides social workers with specific, detailed help in choosing and undertaking research in their chosen specialism.

very good overview and key concepts well explained

This book addresses the important topic of social workers using rather than doing research. The book includes debate on wide-ranging philosophical and ethical issues in relation to understanding research. It engages with key domains such as social work values and the voice of the service user. However the book is 'about' rather than 'how to'. It will appeal more to those wishing to address their own mental barriers and connect with a wider conceptual world than those looking for guidance on practicalities of bringing evidence into practice.

This is a helpful text for showing how to produce good quality research which is relevant to social work. It contains some useful chapters on the philosophy of research and ethical considerations. This text will be recommended on the MA social work degree programme at the University of Wolverhampton.

It is a very good book and should help the students to understand about research methods and why research is carried out.

I'll be recommending this book to all my Research Methods students at undergrad and postgrad level.

I am looking for a book to closely shadow a module on research for social workers in training so this book may offer more than is required for that purpose. I plan to recommend sections of the book to this group of students. I would like to recommend this book to social work students planning doctoral level research.

Excellent, especially for students who are new to research

Useful text that provides the necessary background issues and debates.

Essential reading for both students and practitioners of social work. The previous edition of this book was highly successful, and in this edition McLaughlin builds on that success to make the book a must have buy.-Professor Richard Barker, Northumbria University

This text helps MA Social Work Dissertation students gain an excellent understanding of the breath of social work research and critical issues in doing and utilising research in social work.

A key text to enable undergraduate social workers to develop a systematic approach to social work research
