Reviews for Social Work in Mental Health: An Evidence-Based Approach

" ""…the editors are very fair in their discussion of what empirical research is. They also nicely sum up the strengths of both quantitative and qualitative research methods in an even-handed manner. This section of the book can, and should be a primer for every social work research student."" (PsycCRITIQUES; 9/12/07)"
