Counseling and Educational Research Reviews

Houser is the best text available for a master's level course that examines research from the perspective of counseling practitioners rather than researchers. -- Annette F. Nelligan, University of Maine
Houser describes research methodology and techniques in a way that novice researchers can understand. This book is written in a wonderful transparent style. -- Delila Owens, Indiana Wesleyan University
The Counseling and Educational Research text is a wonderful way to help familiarize Masters-level counseling students with the research process, and how it can be used to enhance their own understanding of research. It is a practical and easy read...I would recommend it for any Master-level counseling course. -- Ja'net M. Seward, Midwestern University
Houser is an exceptional writer whose examples and explanations assist each one of us in understanding the complexity of research. -- Jo Ann Jankoski, Penn State University
This textbook is timely, relevant, and student friendly. -- Lakitta Johnson, Jackson State University
This text is an effective tool in counseling research education. It reads easy and is clear in both clarity and flow. -- Shon D. Smith, Argosy University, Sarasota
Throughout the book, I was struck with Houser's lucidity and skill in summarising. Overall the short, well-researched chapters do work. As a Third Edition, the book has many updated features. The book is both generally useful and particularly suitable for those in the education and counselling ??????fields. -- Dr Anuradha J Bakshi
