Synopsis

This revision of Marlow's accessible research methods text offers students a clear and very down-to-earth introduction to the concepts of research methodology.

Reflecting CSWE requirements for a global perspective, Marlow's Second Edition includes examples drawn from the international social work literature and includes contributions from a South African author.
