Bringing key developments and debates together in a single volume, this book provides an authoritative guide for students and practitioners embarking on qualitative research in social work and related fields. Frequently illustrated with contemporary and classic case examples from the authors' own empirical research and from international published work, and with self-directed learning tasks, the book provides insight into the difficulties and complexities of carrying out research, as well as sharing 'success' stories from the field.

Rezensionen

This is an extraordinary book in scope, theoretical sophistication, and practical appeal. The authors incorporate a variety of engaging examples highly relevant to social work practice. They build on and extend the theoretical insights of a diverse array of scholars from various qualitative traditions. I highly recommend the book for adoption in courses on qualitative methods and also for experienced social work researchers who want to work interpretively with text and image.
