Successful Qualitative Research: A Practical Guide for Beginners is an accessible, practical textbook. It sidesteps detailed theoretical discussion in favor of providing a comprehensive overview of strategic tips and skills for starting and completing successful qualitative research.
Uniquely, the authors provide a "patterns framework" to qualitative data analysis in this book, also known as "thematic analysis." The authors walk you through a basic thematic approach, and compare and contrast this with other approaches. This discussion of commonalities, explaining why and when each method should be used, and in the context of looking at patterns, will provide you with complete confidence for your qualitative research journey.
This textbook will be an essential textbook for undergraduates and postgraduates taking a course in qualitative research or using qualitative approaches in a research project.
This book is an excellent introduction to Qualitative reserach. It is simple to understand and makes easy reading.

Excellent for dissertation students
An excellent well-laid out textbook reference in research methodology, highly recommendable to students and lecturers.
Because my students are not used to doing qualitative research I decided to use only one methodological approach, which is Mayring and not Braun & Clarke. Nevertheless, I like the book and would use it as a text book for thematic analysis.
A fantastic resource that I recommend to all my students embarking on qualitative research.
This is one of my \go to" texts. Eventhough the authors' views have evolved since this publication, I find it good in giving a simple overview for those interested in qualitative research. All the important elements are in this text.
