Recensione:

 " 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)
