Beskrivning

There is a growing interest in the use of psycho-social research methods but what is involved when researchers get up close and personal to human feelings, activities and interactions in a social work setting?This book brings together the work of academics, post-doctoral and doctoral researchers to lift the lid on psycho-social approaches in practice. Each chapter draws on empirical research to demonstrate how creative and reflexive psycho-social methods – ranging from arts-based inquiry to voice-centred analysis – can generate rich insights into lived experience and deepen understanding of professional relationships, organisational life and the everyday challenges of social work.The book features: • Critical reflections on the affordances and challenges of diverse psycho-social research methods; • ‘Core principles and practices to consider’ boxes at the end of each chapter for practical application; and • Case studies demonstrating how psycho-social methods operate in real-world research settings.This accessibly-written resource provides readers with practical guidance, critical reflection and frameworks that promote both intellectual and professional development.
