Abstract
[Extract] This edited book is an international, interdisciplinary collection of research experiences selected for their success in making a difference both to the perspectives of the researchers as well as the daily lives of the families within the communities being researched. Contributors share an interest in developing evidence-based best practice when working with families. In each research project, the focus is on the relationship between the researcher, who is positioned as a learner, in partnership with the participants and stakeholders, who are perceived as the experts. Through this respectful and inclusive approach, accompanied by critical reflection, the researchers have developed significant personal and professional insights, which are shared in this book.
