Engaging Crystallization in Qualitative Research by Laura L Ellingson

Engaging Crystallization in Qualitative Research by Laura L Ellingson

Extending upon the work presented in her first multi-award-winning book, Communicating in the Clinic, in this book Ellingson teaches others how to use crystallization, providing practical guidance for researchers and students implementation, thereby de-mystifying the process.

"[This] book emphasizes effective communication and how to articulate complex information to an audienceAlthough the book is intended primarily for qualitative researchers, I believe it may be an equally important work for quantitative researchers. In reading this book, I have gained a deeper appreciation for qualitative research in general and a better understanding of how different methods can be applied toward understanding truth."

-- Karl N. Kelley * PsycCRITIQUES *
"The book′s key strength is its informed style and uplifting optimism about the future not only of qualitative research but of research at large...the book offers many ideas for researchers to play with and is a thorough and illuminating introduction to the theories, procedures, and politics of qualitative inquiry and publishing." -- Jimmie Manning * The Southern Communication Journal *
