Interviewing for Qualitative Inquiry: A Relational Approach 1st Edition

I am a doctoral student in my last class. I have read Spradley's 1979 Ethnographic Interview which is the "gold standard". This book seems based off his methods and is excellent. It is very user friendly with interview examples and explanations about why the choices were made and what was effective or not about them. Fabulous resource for anyone doing interviews. I will use this for an undergraduate course I teach!

This book is given in depth exploration of qualitative interviewing. That helped increase my understanding of this multi faceted process.

This book is very helpful for a beginner qualitative researcher like myself. The principles of good interviewing are supported by. many examples as well as the dos and don'ts. I read it for my qualitative course, but surely will read it again before I go to the field and collect data.

Great book for new researcher! Easy to read and understand

A quintessential addition to any person interested in learning about doctoral level qualitative research. A bit meandering but it is "all in the there."I love it.

I found this book to be quite different to any other qualitative research I've read before.It is hands on, practical, informational, real life advice...

Great and very informative!

I'm a professor who has taught interviewing for qualitative research for years. This is the best book on the topic that I have ever seen. Very hands on, wonderful examples of good and bad interviewing. And the distinction between big and small questions is so useful ! The students in my courses, both graduate and undergraduate, rave about this book. Home run for Ruthellen Josselson !
