Doing Your Qualitative Psychology Project by Cath Sullivan

While there are a number of books on qualitative psychological research, this book is unique as it leads students step-by-step through the process of using qualitative research for doing your project and writing your report.
Thanks to this new book, psychology students now have a trustworthy and practical guide that takes them through all stages of qualitative research with rich examples and different paradigmatic perspectives

A well thought-out, accessible and engaging guide to conducting qualitative research projectsThis is a must-read for any student beginning the qualitative journey
Abigail Locke
University of Huddersfield, UK


"This is a well-edited, interesting, and intelligent guide for students in the social sciences. The book′s strengths include the effective way in which the contributors use flowcharts, inserts, and examples of students′ research; the consistently high quality of the writing; and the almost seamless integration across chapters." -- S. Halling * Choice *

This book has many strengths. It provides a good overview of the theoretical background and key issues involved in doing a qualitative project, but more importantly there is a plethora of very useful, clearly written and accessible practical advice, as well as case studies... This is an essential book to read before embarking on one’s first qualitative project.
