Roger Grainger

Researching the Arts Therapies

A Dramatherapist's Perspective

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Looks at methods of researching the arts therapies and examines how particular definitions of research affect understanding and practice of arts therapies. Places approaches to research in four categories, and evaluates these approaches, arguing that the theoretical or philosophical understanding of what research actually is has an effect on what we think research can be used for.
