Summary:

Supporting students working at undergraduate level through to postgraduate research and beyond, this textbook serves as a practical guide to qualitative research in psychology - as well as the use of different combinations of research methods and how to carry these out.

The text introduces four widely used qualitative approaches - grounded theory, interpretative phenomenological analysis, discourse analysis and narrative analysis - and then considers ways of combining the approaches. Each chapter focuses on practical aspects of pluralistic study design and application, including participant recruitment, ethics, data interpretation and writing up.

The contributors bring their personal insight into qualitative research practice, covering key areas of psychology, including: health, social and criminal psychology, gender studies, psychotherapy and counselling psychology and organizational psychology, Book jacket.
