Research is often an intimidating topic in a counselor training program -but it doesn't have to be. The third edition of Research and Evaluation in Counseling serves to alleviate readers' concerns while providing them with an impactful learning experience. It presents the most essential components of research and illustrates them with meaningful examples, enabling users to excel at each component. Recognizing that the profession of counseling has entered the age of accountability, author Bradley T. Erford developed this text to help educate counselors and future counselors about research and evaluation procedures so that their treatment of clients can be more effective and efficient. Organized into five topical sections, this text covers the entirety of the research process, from developing a research question to interpreting outcomes. This completely updated edition includes new or greatly enhanced chapters and content on qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research design, and ethical and legal issues in research. Praised by instructors and students alike in previous editions, this is the most comprehensive introductory research, evaluation, and statistics text ever written specifically for the counseling profession.
