Tolich offer invaluable, practical guidance to researchers and graduate students to understand ethical concerns within real-life research situations, satisfy federal regulations governing human research, and work with the university's Institutional Review Board (IRB). The book includes an abundance of useful tools: detailed instructions on development of an effective IRB protocol; methods for handling issues of consent, privacy, confidentiality and deception; ways to assess risk and benefit to optimize research outcomes; and how to respect the needs of vulnerable research populations.

This book demonstrates how, in the rapidly evolving and often uncertain health-care industry, the role of social work will become increasingly significant. Social workers will have new opportunities to help improve the health of individuals, families and communities. Focusing on four major health-care domains - acute care, ambulatory care, illness prevention/health promotion and long-term care - the author provides social workers with current, comprehensive information about the roles they can play and the skills they need in all aspects of health care. The book reviews the past and present of each of these fields, projects their major needs in the future, and identifies how social work can help to meet those needs.

In this book, Di Gammage & Robert Dighton explore the fundamental question - what is play? Drawing on the theories most relevant to the therapeutic uses of this powerful healing medium and elucidated with vivid case studies, An Introduction to Play Therapy arrives at a working definition of person-centred play therapy. An ongoing, in-depth case study of the healing journey of a child is studied throughout the book, demystifying the therapeutic relationship and process of change that occurs. Particular attention is given to defining this approach as person-centred rather than child-centred in recognition of the therapist's own process of change and its effect upon the child. The supervision of a play therapist is included, illustrating the need for transparency, humility and enquiry in this professional endeavour. Finally, the authors look to the future of play therapy, its wider potential for improving the quality of children's lives and the areas ripe for research and development. This is an inspiring introduction to play therapy. Its clarity makes it accessible and highly relevant to all professionals and trainees concerned with the well-being of children. It also has much offer the experienced play therapist or child psychotherapist in its respectful provocation of current practice.
