Using qualitative methods in psychology

"Editors Mary Kopala and Lisa A. Suzuki have collected a series of essays that help consider the philosophical foundations for conducting qualitative research in psychological settings as well as illustrate the application of those methods. Broad-based and inclusive, Using Qualitative Methods in Psychology examines such topics as multicultural issues, supervision, program evaluation, teaching qualitative research, ethics, and therapeutic settings." "Using Qualitative Methods in Psychology will be a crucial addition to the libraries of teachers and researchers interested in psychological research methods writ large, and especially to those interested in qualitative research methods."--Jacket.
