This volume introduces the reader to the wide variety of key social science research methodologies suited to investigations in family therapy. In user-friendly chapters structured to maximize clarity of presentation and to facilitate comparison among models, leading family therapy researchers describe the assumptions and historical development of each methodology. Chapters then provide a step-by-step guide to designing research using the method, illustrated by one or more concrete examples. The method's strengths and weaknesses, its ethical implications, and its relevance to clinical practice are also discussed.
