Description
Book SynopsisReimagining Research centers antiracist research practices and showcases real-world research in counseling practice. The book focuses on the research competencies that matter most to counselors, with each chapter co-authored by practicing counselors and counselor educators. Each chapter reflects diversity in authorship and opens with a potential for practice case study that illustrates a research-related challenge in the practice of counseling. Online resources-including a focus group interview, sample transcripts of qualitative interviews, video demonstrations of statistical techniques, and other documents used in research processes-present these potentials for practice in experiential ways. Chapters close with attention to resources that are readily available for counselors who want to implement these practices, such as evidence-based practice guidelines, open-access journals, and open-access statistical tools.
Trade Review"This is a refreshing text that stares the diversity dearth and disparity in counseling research in the face. Our organization is pleased to see a research text that effectively addresses the rapidly advancing diversity of society in educating this current generation of upcoming counselors."

"This book is one of a kind! Finally, a research textbook that centers social justice, is user-friendly, and ensures that every chapter is relevant to master's-level practicing counselors. The experiential nature of the book brings the material to life. I recommend it most highly!"
