INTERPRETIVE DESCRIPTION (Developing Qualitative Inquiry)
"Thorne has developed this research method over many years in order to combat what she sees as a fundamental difference between social science research and applied health research.... Unlike other qualitative methods, the focus on multidisciplinarity, using mixed theories and methods, and the demystification of certain stages of the research process, make this book particularly useful for those wanting to apply their research to real world problems."--Ruth Bridgens, Qualitative Research
