Description: "Qualitative Research in Psychology: Expanding Perspectives in Methodology and Design brings together a diverse group of scholars who share valuable qualitative research techniques and rich case examples. Qualitative methodologies and the paradigms that guide them can be seen as both an alternative and a complementary approach to quantification and positivism in social, personality, developmental, health, clinical, counseling, community, and school psychology. The wide variety of innovative techniques and theoretical perspectives offered in this volume will challenge readers to think about and expand on their understanding of qualitative research and its continually emerging applications."--Jacket.
