Beginning Research in the Arts Therapies: a Practical Guide

Annotation "Are you about to write a dissertation for an MA in an arts therapy? Is your workplace pressuring you to do research on your practice? Do you fancy trying your hand at a bit of research without any pressure from anyone?" "This book begins at the beginning. Ansdell and Pavlicevic hold your hand and give you plenty of hints and tips while you prepare your funding proposal or research project. They help you think about your title, structure your research questions and aims, and prepare to collect, organize and analyze your research data. Moreover, you're not alone! Franz and Suzie have their own projects which you're invited to follow with opportunities to learn about the nitty-gritty of tables, pie-charts, data transcription, data presentation - and supervisors who toss off clever, useless bits of advice." "Beginning Research in the Arts Therapies is recommended to all arts therapies practitioners: students, researchers, and those clinicians who simply want to 'keep up' with research literature without 'doing it for themselves'."--BOOK JACKET.
