Review
"It is well-written and seems to be at a level which wouldbe graspable by most undergraduate and maybe A level students - without neglecting too much the complexities of the use of qualitative techniques...These characteristics coupled with the fact that each of the authors is an expert in using the particular qualitative techniques they discuss, means that the book can be heartily welcomed." - Psychology Teaching Review "The appearance of this text is timely as it meets the growing interest and popularity of non-quantitative approaches to psychological inquiry...this is a good introductorytext to the important role that 'qualitative methods in psychology' will have in the future...it will be accessible to and liked by students." - Health Psychology Update "...a book I will now always reach for when those ideas that you think you know about, but somehow you can never quite maintain coherently in your memory, once again fade from my grasp...I will be recommending itto students as an excellent primer in qualitative methods." - Changes - International Journal of Psychology and Psychotherapy
