The book provides a rich and comprehensive text, with contributions from specialized authors on a number of key themes and research methods relevant to qualitative research.

With contributions from leading researchers, the book examines how to review and appraise existing qualitative literature, how to choose the most appropriate method, and how to approach ethical issues. It provides chapter-by-chapter guidance on how to conduct a qualitative study from across a range of approaches and each chapter demonstrates how the specific method has been applied to address questions in mental health research.  \u003cp\u003eThis unique book uses examples drawn from recent research in mental health practice and in psychotherapy and examines service user involvement in research and the epistemological assumptions underlying the various methods.\u003c\/p\u003e  To the urgent questions facing researchers looking for methods that are respectful of the diversity of experience of mental health and ethical practice in psychotherapy, Harper and Thompson respond with a series of different answers that are equally diverse and embedded in a vision of what can be done to take academic and professional work in the area forward. This book provides clearly written qualitative accounts of the research process, and will serve as a benchmark against which future developments in the field will be measured.\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIan Parker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, Professor of Psychology, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI really enjoyed reading this book! It is a very welcome addition to the growing interest in applied and applicable qualitative research in mental health practice. It is authored by a group of practitioners who collectively are at the forefront of promoting research grounded in practice, which celebrates the skills and knowledge of the practitioner, and looks to find a good fit between research questions and design and the needs of mental health practitioners and the communities they serve. The book emphasises participatory research in which service users and carers are involved and consulted at all stages. It is accessible, easy to navigate and, importantly, focuses on do-able research in mental health settings.\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eArlene Vetere\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Surrey, UK\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989893300453,"sku":"NP9780470663738","price":129.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470663738.jpg?v=1761785818","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/qualitative-research-methods-in-mental-health-and-psychotherapy-isbn-9780470663738","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
