Description

Book Synopsis

The contemporary world currently faces multi-level challenges, including cross-border migration, economic crises and myriad health issues, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Within this wider context of ongoing fluidity, transition and diversity, qualitative research methodologies in psychology are rapidly evolving, featuring innovative ways to examine the dynamic interrelation of societal and psychological processes.

The Routledge International Handbook of Innovative Qualitative Psychological Research sets the stage for cutting-edge debates on how innovative approaches in qualitative research in psychology can contribute to tackling current challenges in our society. The handbook depicts innovation in qualitative research in psychology with respect to methodological approaches like visual methods, arts-based research, discursive and narrative approaches, multimodal approaches, and pluralistic/mixed methodology approaches. It addresses a wide range of contemporary

Trade Review

"This handbook does what it says on the tin, and more, giving voice to a diverse range of innovative approaches in qualitative research that engage with the experience of those we work with, while enacting that ethos in the structure of the book with critical reflection enabling readers to take their own position in the debates."

Ian Parker, University of Manchester, UK

"This Handbook is a welcome contribution to the field of qualitative research more broadly, and in Psychology specifically. The Handbook makes a strong case that innovation is timely and important, as personal and social lives shift alongside global – and increasingly complex – challenges. The diversity of contributors provides a valuable multiplicity of voices and perspectives on a broad range of innovations in qualitative research. Contributors are located from across more than 15 European countries; this includes junior and senior scholars and researchers from a variety of areas within Psychology. They apply innovative thinking to methods, methodologies, and theories, across a raft of contemporary issues. As a whole the Handbook provides insight, provokes thought, and encourages beneficial debate and dialogue on what innovation is and what it means for qualitative research in Psychology in a way that will extend the field and appeal to a wide audience."
