About this title

Synopsis

This comprehensive text provides a practical introduction to the range of qualitative methodologies and methods being used by occupational science and occupational therapy researchers today, enabling readers to produce and critique high-quality qualitative research themselves.

Showcasing a diverse range of qualitative research from both academic scholarship and the wider community of health professionals, each chapter combines both foundational knowledge and therapeutic applications. Importantly, the book lucidly explains the synergy between research problem, choice of methodology, and methods. It also fosters a best-practice approach, ensuring that qualitative research is epistemologically sound while reflecting the values and beliefs of the diverse communities within which research is conducted.

This new edition, featuring an international range of authors, also addresses new and cutting-edge research methodologies, including Indigenous methodologies, netnography, the visual arts, and Big data. It is the ideal textbook for any student, practitioner, or researcher of occupational science and occupational therapy.
