What is New Tools for Social Scientists : Advances and Applications in Research Methods about?

The methods selected and used to conduct research often become an expression of the conflicting interests that are being served by the study. This book focuses on issues such as why we do research, how we create knowledge, and how the research process brings about change. The introduction to the book discusses the historical, conceptual, and personal interests being served. There are four Clinical Issues, Clinical Understanding, Clinical Involvement, and Clinical Methods. Clinical is regularly used to refer to an approach to the study of social systems, a method with its own characterists and its own demands. Each chapter is compiled by a different researcher, and contains many examples.
