Recenzii

'This volume, based on the work of one of the leading scholars in the field, is a major resource which provides valuable insights into the purpose and process of researching social work. The reflective introduction constitutes a significant history, both personal and disciplinary, that is essential reading for all wanting to understand the relationship between theory, research and practice.' Joan Orme, University of Glasgow, UK 'It is exciting to read this collection of thoughtful and provocative essays by Professor Ian Shaw, centered around the topic of social work research and practice. His views are at the cutting edge of Europaean developments in contemporary social work philosophy of science and research methodology. This work is most highly recommended for social worker scholars and practitioners.' Bruce A. Thyer, Florida State University, USA
