Qualitative Health Psychology: Theories and Methods

By Michael Murray

The discipline of health psychology has grown rapidly in recent years, during a period of increasing debate about the nature of psychology and of science in general. Health psychology has tended to adopt the dominant positivist approaches and methods of its parent discipline. Persuasive and compelling, this book provides a strong case for the use of a qualitative framework in health psychology, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the research or practice of health psychology today.
