Using Qualitative Methods in Psychology is a searching examination of the critical issues involved in qualitative research.

The authors analyze the observational methods which historically form the basis of the field of psychology. They go on to address topics such as: validity and reliability, training issues, ethics, and use of qualitative computer programmes. In the second part, issues related to the application of qualitative methods are considered, for example HIV/AIDS, feminist perspectives, vocational, and adolescent development.
