Five Ways of Doing Qualitative Analysis

As the title suggests, the authors of the book Five ways of doing qualitative analysis: Phenomenological psychology, grounded theory, discourse analysis, narrative research, and intuitive inquiry offer a complex look at qualitative research. The book has been lauded as the premier text on qualitative analysis by reviewers who teach qualitative analysis. The authors use a unique approach in writing this book--taking a data set on a "participant," looking at the data using the five major ways in the qualitative style, comparing the strengths of each of the styles, and offering the reactions of the participant herself.
