How to do research that truly enables health and human service professionals and organisations to do their work effectively? Publisher Description Albert Einstein said we cant solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. If we dont have the kinds of health and human services or even the kinds of lives, communities and organisations we want, then we need to think differently.Yoland Wadsworth offers an inspired insight and radically new proposition: that the act of our inquiring, of researching and evaluating together, is the way by which every living organism and all collective human life goes about continuously achieving the conditions for life.Building in Research and Evaluation explores this new approach for bringing about both wanted change and stability. By inquiring around whole cycles of acting, observing, questioning, feeling, reflecting, thinking, planning and acting again, Yoland identifies how new life might be brought to what we do.Sound and persuasive, insightful, important and inviting.
