Qualitative Research for Applied Practice

About this book

Interpretive Description: Qualitative Research for Applied Practice has established itself as the key resource for novice and intermediate level researchers in applied settings for conducting a qualitative research project with practical outcomes.

This book takes the reader through the qualitative research process, from research design through fieldwork, analysis, interpretation, and application of the results; provides numerous examples from a variety of applied fields to show research in action; and uses an accessible style to be the ideal book for teaching qualitative research in clinical and applied disciplines. In this new, third edition, leading qualitative researcher Sally Thorne retains the clear, straightforward guidance for researchers and students in health, social service, mental health, and related fields. This new edition includes additional material on positionality, disciplinary blindspots, design logic, arts-based approaches, diversity, mixed methods, writers' block, and dealing with critique. It has been comprehensively updated with new references and case examples throughout.

Interpretive Description is an ideal resource for instructors and advanced students interested in qualitative research across a range of disciplines.
