Overview

Counseling Research introduces the basics of how to do research using concise, easy-to-understand language. You'll learn everything from formulating a problem, to doing a literature review, selecting a design, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting results. Covering a range of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods designs, as well as action research and program evaluation, the text presents the most common types of research you'll use in the field. Clear guidelines and real-world examples help you develop the skills you need to become an evidence-based practitioner and intelligent consumer of published research.

The 3rd Edition contains the most up-to-date research information, aligns with the current CACREP standards and features new research in action sections in every chapter.
