""This book provides an introduction to four widely used
qualitative research methods, followed by a detailed discussion of
a pluralistic approach to qualitative research...makes exceellent
use of questions both in order to help the reader gain clarity as

The Psychologist, May 2012"
""The book makes excellent use of questions throughout, both in
order to help the reader gain clarity regarding the ontological and
epistemological assumptions underpinning different approaches to
qualitative research, as well as to encourage reflexivity regarding
the process of conducting qualitative research.
The discussion of pluralism in Part 2 of the book is detailed
and helpful, providing both guidance as to how to work
pluralistically, as well as offering a welcome argument in favour
of llooseningthe bonds of 'methodolatry, and to allow the research
to be driven by questions and curiosity rather than by the
researcher's commitment to a particular methodological
approach."
