Review
"RESEARCH DESIGN IN COUNSELING represents the best text available for research training in the counseling and mental health professions. This Third Edition capitalizes on the strengths of the previous edition while broadening its focus with new chapters on multicultural research and scale development. The co-authors of the text are world-renowned scholars who practice what they preach; they are exemplary research role models for both students and seasoned scholars. Writing within the text is lucid, clear, interesting, and accessible to varied audiences. Coverage of critical design and ethical issues within the text is both expansive and in-depth. There is little doubt that this Third Edition of a classic text will be widely adopted and often cited."

Does What It Says,
By
This review is from: Research Design in Counseling (Hardcover)
This book is intended for graduate level readers, specifically, counselors designing and publishing research studies in peer reviewed journals. You should already have had statistics and research methods in your undergraduate program before attempting to read this book. Also, you had better have not only gotten an A in those classes, but also thought that they were interesting and stimulating; otherwise, this book is likely to intimidate and/or lose you quick. This is obviously not the author's aim; however, research isn't for everyone and the information has to be fairly involved in order to give the necessary insights. Nonetheless, it is written in an easy to read style and walks you through the various constructs with plenty of examples and discussion.
