Doing Qualitative Research Differently: Free Association, Na
|
|
A brilliant book which is not only "how to"do meaningful qualititative as oppose to quantitative scientific researhc, but also a critical review of the assumptions, claims and methods of qualititative research itself. It applies a psycho-social and psychodynamic understanding of subjectivity to research practice -which is so refreshingly welcome - stating waht seems obvious now they come to notice it - that research and researched, in human research, construct the research data within the context of a human relationship - which contains and reveals what the interviewee, for example, had not thought of before this relationship, for this purpose, was established. Thus interviewees free associations are given meaning and accorded weight as data. This is an essenetial tool for new and expereinced resesarchers.
