The SAGE Handbook of Grounded Theory
Paperback Edition

Edited by:


January 2010 | 656 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
Grounded Theory is by far the most widely used research method across a wide range of disciplines and subject areas, including social sciences, nursing and healthcare, medical sociology, information systems, psychology, and anthropology. This handbook gives a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of Grounded Theory, taking into account the many attempts to revise and refine Glaser and Strauss' original formulation and the debates that have followed.

Antony Bryant & Kathy Charmaz bring together leading researchers and practitioners of the method from the US, the UK, Australia and Europe to represent all the major standpoints within Grounded Theory, demonstrating the richness of the approach. The contributions cover a wide range of perspectives on the method, covering its features and ramifications, its intricacies in use, its demands on the skills and capabilities of the researcher and its position in the domain of research methods.

The SAGE Handbook of Grounded Theory is an indispensable reference source for academics and researchers across many disciplines who want to develop their understanding of the Grounded Theory method.

This book is being adopted as an excellent specific source text on those dissertation learners focusing their methodology on Grounded Theory.

Grounded Theory is increasing among doctoral dissertation learners as a preferred method for their study. This "Handbook" provides, in detail, the needed fundamentals required to successfully write a proposal and subsequent dissertation.
