Twelve accounts of interpretive research projects in developmental, clinical, social, and educational psychology demonstrate the practical and methodological aspects of such study. The three sections cover: the discovering of a workable perspective, conducting an inquiry within the adopted perspective, and critiquing results. The introduction compares hermeneutic (interpretive) views with those of empiricism and rationalism. Paperback edition ($17.95) unseen. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
