'This thorough and very readable textbook provides an excellent introduction to qualitative research in psychologyIt brings together contributions from many of the world's leading qualitative and critical researchers of health and clinical psychology into an integrated whole.' - Christina Lee, Professor of Health Psychology, University of Queensland, Australia "I am excited to see the publication of Qualitative Research in Clinical and Health Psychology, a much needed methodological resource specific to the fields of health and clinical psychology, as well as to related fields. It is impressive with the solid epistemological and methodological grounding of each chapter, the wide range of approaches presented, inclusion of the most recent developments and innovative explorations through qualitative inquiry into health and clinical psychology. Each chapter masterfully presents the specific approach, with a richness of examples, detailed and clear guides to data collection, analysis and interpretation and thus will be an invaluable resource for both new and seasoned qualitative researchers." - Irina Todorova, Clinical Associate Professor, Northeastern University, Boston, USA and Fellow of the European Health Psychology Society "Rohleder & Lyons have assembled a great cast of experts to explain and illustrate a wide range of qualitative research methods employed in health and clinical psychology domains. There is a clear need for a book such as this, and I think it will prove to be an invaluable resource for trainee practitioners, postgraduate and early career researchers alike as they embark on their qualitative research journeys." - Brendan Gough, Professor of Social Psychology, School of Social, Psychological and Communication Sciences, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK
