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.

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.
