About this title

Review

"Without question, this text will be the most authoritative source of information on statistics in the human services. From my point of view, it is a definitive work...that combines a rigorous pedagogy with a down to earth (commonsense) exploration of the complex and difficult issues in data analysis (statistics) and interpretation. I welcome its publication. Bravo!"

"Bravo! A superb, well-written book."

"The author includes, in simple and clear terms, many statistical issues that other beginning statistics texts do not. I like the social work/helping professions examples . . . The foot-noted SPSS instructions are useful and easy to follow."

"A well written, easy-to-understand text on statistics . . . There are many good case examples that are grounded in social work practice and help to make social work research meaningful to students."
