It is widely acknowledged that research is an essential component of the counselling and psychotherapy core curriculum. Therapists and all care practitioners not only need to be able to understand and evaluate research literature, but are also increasingly expected to carry out simple practitioner research to monitor their own practice. With its emphasis on practice-based evidence, this book provides a much-needed, reliable and accessible introduction by two trusted and well-known authors. It builds confidence by not only outlining contemporary methodologies in everyday language, but also by explaining how to approach, understand and evaluate a range of published research. Written for complete beginners in the tried and tested, best-selling style of the other books in the "Steps" series, the book covers first principles through to the development of a simple research project. In simple terms "First Steps in Practitioner Research" provides a 'how to understand and do it' resource for students, tutors and practice supervisors with little or no previous experience.
This book is for students on basic introduction to counselling courses from around 20 to 100 hours duration. In his highly acclaimed accessible style, Sanders covers all relevant areas of training at this level - theory, personal development and building helping skills. Intended as a support for tutors and a companion for course participants, the text emphasises personal development and good practice, and can be used with confidence as a focus for training or a supplement to it. It is one of the most popular books on counselling in the UK, with many thousands of students choosing it each year.
