Blending the conceptual, theoretical, and practical, the book becomes a dissertation in action--a logical and cohesive explanation and illustration of content and process. The <strong>Third Edition</strong> maintains key features that distinguish its unique approach and has been thoroughly updated and expanded throughout to reflect and address recent developments in the field.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>In this third edition, I appreciated even more the intention the authors give to demystifying both the process of doctoral research and the rationale for the dissertation as a culminating product. It is heartening to have experienced researchers and teachers provide such clarifying and encouraging support to novices, particularly those whose progress through the complicated journey of becoming a qualitative researcher has become stymied and who are thereby feeling demoralized or despairing of ever completing their research work. The challenges of providing good research advisement stood out for me in reading this revision, so even though <strong><em>Completing Your Qualitative Dissertation</em></strong> is primarily designed for a graduate student audience, I have already recommended the third edition to my faculty colleagues within counselor education who are looking for a way to better transition excellent clinicians into excellent qualitative researchers for the counseling profession.<br/>--Karen Mackie<br><br>Students interested and/or committed in engaging in qualitative research would find<strong><em> Completing Your Qualitative Dissertation</em></strong> to be extremely informative and easy to read. The organization and presentation of the content are both visually appealing and the content is presented in a very student friendly manner. The organization of the chapters including the chapter objectives, chapter summaries and checklists are also helpful for faculty in terms on developing syllabi and pacing of course materials. The charts and diagrams are also very helpful and beneficial. Students need resources and tools to help with the thinking, collecting and analysis of rich qualitative data--of which can be found in almost every chapter of this text. <br/> <br/> This book does not lecture students but provides helpful tools to the assist in the collection of rich qualitative data. In addition, in many instances the students are actually able to see the tools and suggestions provided in the text in action. When reading this text, the students are not left with figuring out next steps and how, this book provides a very clear road map.<br/>--Kriss Y. Kemp-Graham<br><br><p><em><strong>Completing Your Qualitative Dissertation </strong></em>is well written and clear. There is an enjoyable mix of scholarly and informal tone that should engage students well. Figures and tables are useful and are appropriate and well placed or referenced within the manuscript. I especially like the use of related examples and included resources. I also like that the authors enumerate common student errors or mistakes in each chapter.</p>--Nathan R. Templeton<br><br><p>I have used previous editions of <strong><em>Completing Your Qualitative Dissertation</em></strong> and, while they have been excellent, I find the third edition to be the best resource for students that I've seen. The chapters are practical and applied, using a real life example throughout. There are even sections in each chapter that address frequent errors that students make. The third edition also provides a detailed description of various qualitative genres, making it easier for students to locate their own work within the book. This book will be required reading for each of my doctoral students, long before they start thinking about their dissertations.</p>--Kate de Medeiros<br><br><p>This third edition is a valuable guide for doctoral students. Theoretical and often abstract elements of the dissertation process are translated into clear and practical steps that students can take and instructors can share on the road toward successful completion of the dissertation.</p>--Amira Proweller<br><br>I applaud the author for taking on the challenge of describing the conceptual/theoretical model. This piece of information alone will meaningfully improve doctoral students' ability to progress forward with writing their dissertations. The conceptual/ theoretical model is one of the most misunderstood aspects of the dissertation, and yet the most important aspect of the dissertation because it anchors the study. But the single most impressive aspect of <strong><em>Completing Your Qualitative Dissertation</em></strong> is that the authors make sense of writing a qualitative dissertation in a way that will likely enhance the active and inactive students' ability to complete their dissertation.--Antonio C. Cuyler<br>
