Description
Starting research in arts therapies can be daunting, but this practical guide takes you by the hand and provides helpful hints and tips to get you started. Gary Ansdell and Mercedes Pavlicevic offer expert advice on preparing your funding proposal, structuring your research questions and aims, and collecting, organizing and analyzing your data.
With a focus on making arts therapies research fun and serious, this book also shares the authors' own projects, providing opportunities to learn about the nitty-gritty of research methods. You'll gain a sympathetic ear, firm advice, and a sensible and imaginative approach to theory, debate and determination.
