Paradoxes of qualitative research |
|
| Authors: | MS Elliott DI Williams |
| Abstract: | In qualitative research paradoxes abound in research design, sampling, generalisation, ethics and the behaviour of the researcher. The ultimate paradox is that qualitative inquiry is impossible — both conceptually and practically — yet it still goes on. It must do so if the professions of counselling and psychotherapy are to advance. |
