Editorial Reviews
Review
"...a unique attempt to include qualitative and quantitative evaluation research content into a textbook on social work practice thinking process and evaluation. The unique model of practice uses excellent clinical examples, with the same characters throughout the book, having current problems very timely for social work practitioners today."
"...this manuscript represents the most comprehensive presentation on the topic social work practice evaluation."
"...I like the principles, assumptions, examples and exercises. I really like the organization and structure of the book as it seems to flow better than other texts."
"It is powerfully packed with rich and timely conceptual material. The authors have worked hard to simplify and demystify research terminology."
