A good academic resource for introducing trainee counsellors to the intricacies of research in the counselling professions. It offers a historical contextual overview of research and its importance for the profession.The basic principles of research are explained in a clear and accessible way, demystifying the wide assumption that research is difficult to understand and to apply. Each chapter includes helpful exercises to help solidify learning.
Excellent update and will be on course reading list
very good research, even for beginners- lots of examples and reasons for the inclusion of research within the arena of counselling
This is an excellent, clearly written text that provides first time researchers with clear guidance on undertaking a research study. It de-mystifies research and discusses how relevant research is to counselling and psychotherapy.
Another excellent text from John McLeod on the subject of research in counselling. A good resource for students on my foundation degree in counselling
This a well-written book which I use for my counselling students. I use this book and so far the comments I have from students is that it helps them a lot in thier journey to counselling and psychotherapy.
I will recommend this to my year 2 students starting their research module.
This text has been recommended to our students. It has some very useful methods for carrying out research in a counselling and general psychology wide area. My students are going to use it for research methods on the human behaviour module. Thank you.
Maybe a little advanced for level 3
An extremely useful text which helps to familiarise students with counselling research and the relevance and importance of research to the field of counselling and psychotherapy
Excellent, solid foundation for MA students.
Goes in much deeper detail than needed for postgraduate students who are educators
Such a useful and accessible text for students, well worth adopting
I used this text not on the Research Methods in Counselling module as planned but on our 'bridging' module for students with Level 5 counselling wanting to complete a Top-Up degree. These students have no previous knowledge of research and so it as a very useful introduction, particularly as it applies standard resarch methods to counselling practice.
Good book for beginners to research in counselling and psychotherapy. Good basic approach, recommended to first years as an introduction to methods
A first class text ideal for counselling students who are novice researchers
An excellent book for year two Diploma students. Easy to read, follows evidence based assessment model of training. Highly recommend!
This well constructed book is as thought provoking as it is well written. The author covers all aspects of research thoroughly, providing the reader with an excellent introduction to this often difficult field.
An excellent introduction which will meet the needs of my students
This book is very useful at level 5 where we are introducing students to research in counselling We are not using ist as essential reading yet but have added it to ou recommended list
