This five-volume collection maps the terrain of qualitative psychology, using classic papers from the last 25 years to document key principles, orientations and virtues, and drawing on more recent papers to delineate current trends, innovations, and debates. Although qualitative research has featured within the discipline of psychology throughout its history, the past 25 years has witnessed an avalanche of journals and textbooks, conferences, national and international associations all devoted to qualitative research, which means that this major work couldn’t be timelier. The volumes are structured chronologically to enable understanding of developments and trends in field, running from the foundations (volume 1) to contemporary issues (volume 5). This major work is designed to serve students, faculty, practitioners, and educators with an interest in qualitative research within psychology and other social science disciplines.

Volume One: Foundations

Volume Two: Qualitative data collection

Volume Three: Methodologies 1: From experiential to constructionist approaches

Volume Four: Methodologies 2: Discursive and critical approaches

Volume Five: Contemporary issues and innovations

Brett Smith

"Brendan Gough has taken on the unenviable task of distilling out the "most interesting and influential papers" on qualitative research over the last 20-30 years. His selection of 79 papers could, and probably will, be debated but there is no doubt that he has succeeded in assembling a coherent and valuable collection of articles. The logical, systematic organisation of the five volumes, around methods and issues, allows for easy location of readings of interest on a wide variety of topics. This collection will be highly useful as core resource readings, for both those new to and those more experienced in qualitative research."

Prof. Kerry Chamberlain
Massey University, New Zealand

"With this collection, qualitative psychology has truly come of age. The 5 volumes map out the field, from its origins and foundations through to the most recent innovations and debates. Brendan Gough has done a fantastic job in bringing together the voices of qualitative psychologists who have shaped the discipline and give it its present direction. Inspirational and informative, this major work constitutes an indispensable addition to any research methods library."
