Overview

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.
