Description
This volume provides a comprehensive and in-depth handbook of qualitative research in the field of communication disorders. It introduces and illustrates the wide range of qualitative paradigms that have been used in recent years to investigate various aspects of communication disorders.
The first part of the Handbook introduces in some detail the concept of qualitative research and its application to communication disorders, and describes the main qualitative research approaches. The contributions are forward-looking rather than merely giving an overview of their topic. The second part illustrates these approaches through a series of case studies of different communication disorders using qualitative methods of research.
This Handbook is an essential resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and practitioners, in communication disorders and related fields.

Reviews / Votes
"This is a very important book for clinicians and scientists who have a comprehensive interest not only in understanding language, but in understanding the all-important act of languaging. It is a beautiful tribute to Jack Damico, a treasure that will keep his contributions on the radar screens of all who read it." --Audrey L. Holland, Ph.D., University of Arizona"Bringing together several of the most brilliant researchers in the field, presenting a wide range of different qualitative methods, this theoretically well-grounded book makes a valuable contribution to our knowledge of human communicative sciences and disorders. It challenges the established view of communicative disorders as something belonging primarily to the individuals with the disorders. The book thus concerns any clinician working with children or adults with communication disorders."--Lena Hartelius, Ph.D., Universtiy of Gothenburg, Sweden
