Methods, Sex and Madness by Derek Layder

This book is an examination of the methods used by social researchers to produce knowledge. Focussing chiefly on research into sexuality and madness, it assesses survey methods and opens up broader philiosophical debates on the nature of knowledge.

'.. it is certainly a very valuable read to those studying on advanced research methods courses. It would be much more essential for anyone researching gender and sexuality issues.' - Nursing Times

'A unique new contribution that is anything but boring. As the title indicates, the authors focus on sex and madness in their treatment of research methods ... A useful text to use in undergraduate introductory methods courses ... well-written and, unlike most methods texts, enjoyable to read.' - Reviewing Sociology.

Julia O’Connell Davidson is Lecturer in Sociology., Derek Layder is Reader in Sociology at the University of Leicester.
