Description
This book aims to demystify the whole process of research and to place it very firmly in reality. Thorough, academic, yet very practical in its approach, this book contains many examples, both real and hypothetical, exercises, summaries and key points. Brimming with sound practical advice, this text will be an essential purchase for all therapists starting their research projects. Jane Seale BSc (Hons), PhD and Sue Barnard MSc, MCSP are both Lecturers at the School of Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy, Southampton, UK
