New to the third edition are a complete glossary of terms, additional diagrams, new examples from real-life studies focusing on cultural diversity and oppression, and increased emphasis on themes relevant to practice. Definitions of key concepts set apart in boxes -- along with the increased number of illustrations -- make this text one of the most readable in its field. And while other books describe methods drawn from related social science fields like sociology and anthropology, Fortune and Reid's is written by and especially for social workers.
Research in Social Work is a peerless companion to course-work in basic research methodology and clinical research at all academic levels -- indeed, it is one of the few books broad enough in coverage to serve as a primary text for a wide spectrum of classes.
