Description: The first edition was popular for its clear delineation of the issues and the way it prepared readers for doing qualitative research, particularly in health settings. The Second Edition shows readers new ways of knowing, how to ask questions at multiple system levels (from global to family to the cell) and the incursive interaction between these levels, and ways to expand existing research approaches. New to this edition is more on various collection methods as well as more detail on the interpretive process. All chapters are written by gifted researchers, many of whom are also clinicians, that define their topic, reveal themselves and the context of their discussion, define the key themes and processes, provide interesting descriptive examples, explore theory, recognize the importance of culture, and share their excitement of discovery.
