'This book fulfils an undoubted need, with clear descriptions of different research methods written by informed enthusiasts'. - David Goldberg, from the foreword'This book fills a significant, and hitherto invisible, gap in the literature on psychiatric research. Because of its philosophical depth and its awareness of the political dimensions of mental health research, it deserves a place on the shelf of anyone who seeks to answer questions about mental disorder.’ - Dr Mark Salter, Barts and The London Chronicle, Spring Volume 9, issue 2‘Bracken and Thomas’s account of the inherent difficulties in trying to move mental health services from a modernist to a post-modern perspective should be compulsory reading for all researchers and clinical staff.’ – Lesley Warner, Mental Health Today, July/August 2007‘There is a lot to like in this edited book. The chapters are well written, with little unnecessary overlap between them (…) The authors point out limitations as well as listing research areas where qualitative methods can be uniquely valuable. A particular strength is a detailed look at specific projects such as a conversation analysis of consultations between psychiatrists and people with psychosis’ – Dave Peck, Clinical Psychology Forum 184, April 2008
