The test introduces four widely used qualitative approaches, grounded theory, interpretative phenomenological analysis, discourse analysis and narrative analysis - and then considers ways of combining the approaches. Each chapter focuses on practical aspects of pluralistic study design and application, including participant recruitment, ethics, data interpretation and writing up. The book reflects the latest developments in qualitative research and includes several features designed to illustrate the applications of these, including: Clear chapter introductions and summaries Descriptive case studies and group projects Reflections on practice Problem-based questions Research examples The contributors bring personal insight into qualitative research practice, covering key areas of psychology, including: health psychology, social psychology, criminal psychology, gender studies, psychotherapy and counselling psychology and organizational psychology. "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 excellent use of questions both in order to help the reader gain clarity as well as to encourage reflexivity."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1984, the overall purpose of this book was to provide ideas and suggestions about the usefulness of applied psychology in dealing with some of the problems of the elderly. Although many problems of the elderly are not included, the editors wanted to put forward ideas which they, both individually and collectively, had found to be of practical value in dealing with the kinds of problem they found to be most urgent. Despite the recent increase of interest by psychologists in this field, many professional and non-professional workers had not had any experience in working alongside a psychologist. In addition, there were many professional psychologists who had had little to do with this specialist field. The book was aimed at these two groups. The chapters of this book range from the more traditional psychological topic of assessment through to psychological treatment and management approaches for various problems.

Book excerpt: Interactive Psychology: People in Perspective is the first online textbook for introductory psychology that was conceived and built as an immersive, interactive online learning experience. Whether students read and work with this ebook on their phone, tablet, or laptop, Interactive Psychology will help them succeed in their psychology course. Studies have shown that students who use interactive ebooks spend significantly more time on the textÕs practice materials than students who use printed textbooks, and students who test themselves frequently achieve better grades in their courses (Sommers, Shin, Greenebaum, Merker, & Sanders, 2019). Interactive Psychology embraces that research to improve student learning through interactive explorations, compelling videos, dynamic maps and graphs, and Check Your Understanding questions at the end of each study unit. With Interactive Psychology, students learn psychology by doing psychology.
