About this title

Review:

In a clear, very readable style, this book covers everything students or practitioners would need to consider about research ethics. It is up to date and rich with examples from cross-professional and multidisciplinary practice. I would recommend it for therapists, and professionals in health and social care interested in ethical research practices. (Jeannie Wright)

This book provides a thoughtful approach to research ethics that will appeal to a range of different researchers. The style is clear and practical with illuminating vignettes and challenging questions in each chapter. This clarity together with the depth in underpinning ethics with philosophical and historical ideas will appeal to beginning and experienced researchers at a range of academic levels. An excellent text for anyone within the social science disciplines. (Jan Grove)

The real strength of the book is its conscientious unpicking of the research process via an ethically-informed lens. Addressing ethical issues is very much seen and presented as a process, as, for example, in obtaining informed consent, leading up to the a very useful discussion about the ethics involved in getting your research findings out into the real world. This stage is often missing from many student research proposals in my experience.  (Peter Jenkins - Senior Lecturer in Counselling at the University of Manchester)
