Editorial Reviews

Review

"...a rich, multi-layered book...I would particularly recommend this book as a teaching tool to use on post-graduate courses exploring qualitative methodology and psychotherapy."
--Linda Finlay for QUALITATIVE RESEARCH IN PSYCHOLOGY, Volume 3, Number 4, 2006

"Fischer (Duquesne University) brings together experienced researchers to introduce students to the methods of qualitative research. In her introduction, she defines qualitative research, discusses how it compares with quantitative research, and looks at the types of questions such research attempts to answer. She also provides information on practical issues, from picking topics to publishing. Students will particularly appreciate the annotated sources at the end of the introduction, the chapter of frequently asked questions, and the helpful glossary. The 13 chapters include case demonstrations of different approaches to studying clinical practices, affective and cognitive processes, and life situations. Each chapter includes methodology and rationale, biographical information on the author(s), and an introduction explaining the focus of the chapter and how the content fits within the broader text. Throughout readers will observe the reflective processes involved in conducting qualitative research. This will be a valuable source on methods used to conduct phenomenological research. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals."
--C. J. Speaker, Elmira College for CHOICE, July 2006


Book Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Qualitative Research Methods for Psychologists: Introduction through Empirical Studies, January 17, 2006
This is an excellent resource for students and faculty who want to understand the thinking behind various methods of empirical qualitative research. It is a refreshing counterpoint to the many books on qualitative research in the social sciences that are embedded in a post-positivist world view. Although the book is geared toward psychologists, it can be useful to professionals in other human, health, and social service areas. One of the strengthens of the book is the way in which chapter authors provide examples from specific research projects to illustrate concepts and principles inherent in qualitative empirical research grounded in traditions such as phenomenology, hermeneutics, feminism, and discourse analysis. The examples help to demystify the thinking processes that underpin good research and give a language for explaining studies that do not conform to the conventions of post-positivism. I found the framework for conceptualizing five forms of validity to be particularly helpful.

The introductory chapter may be especially useful for inexperienced student-researchers who are preparing proposals for their dissertations. A number of issues that require students' attention are raised along with practical suggestions for how to think through the issues.
