Reviews for Doing Qualitative Research in Psychology: A Practical Guide

The textbook is useful for those who have started to plan doing qualitative research in psychology. It gives not only guidelines on how to plan and proceed with the project, but also encourages ethical reflection. -- Eleonora Bielawska-Batorowicz Written both for the novice and those with experience in conducting qualitative research, this is a well-written and accessible text. All aspects of the research process from question formulation through to writing up a research report are covered in detail. -- Dannette Marie This accessible and engaging practical guide to collecting and analysing qualitative data is a must have for undergraduate psychology students. -- Craig Owen This book provides an excellent introduction to the main approaches in qualitative research in psychology. Using the same data across all approaches makes this book unique. I highly recommend this very practical guide to graduate students and teachers alike. -- Carolin Demuth This textbook will be a fantastic resource for psychology students, providing the essential theoretical underpinnings of qualitative approaches alongside practical examples, tips and techniques. Subjecting the same transcript to multiple analyses provides a unique opportunity to witness qualitative research in action - to appreciate the value and unique nature of different qualitative methods. -- Eleanor Bradley
