Research and the Social Work Picture: Research in Social Work

There’s growing pressure for social workers to engage with research and actively incorporate it into their practice. But why is this research important? This book provides an accessible way to think about this question. Drawing on evidence from across Europe, Asia, and the US, it covers how research is conducted, used, and perceived. It provides a detailed sketch of how research finds a place in the wider social work picture and offers opportunities and exercises that highlight how social work research is relevant in day-to-day programs and practice.
