Research Methods with Children

For the clinician needing or wishing to become involved in research or to conduct studies, there is little by way of a guide on how to go about it. "Research Methods with Children" is written for such professionals and provides a clear and accessible introduction to undertaking research with children. It is concerned with relatively informal settings, outside the laboratory, and the emphasis is upon aspects of the design and conduct of projects, with particular reference to clinical work. Statistical and other analytical techniques are included in so far as they are relevant to specific methodological issues. Concrete examples of good practice are included. The book will be of relevance to all professionals who are involved in the care, teaching or treatment of children, including educational and clinical psychologists, educational researchers, social workers, paediatricians and child psychiatrists.
