Popular with interpretivist, critical realist and post-positivist researchers, the grounded theory research method is used in psychology, healthcare, business, management and leadership, education, sociology and more. Researchers using this method tend to want to understand what is going on for a group of people in an area of interest and often seek to provide practical recommendations for targeted and impactful change.

Using grounded theory offers practical guidance on generating grounded theory using qualitative data, and is enriched by the many examples of Helen's mentees and peers who share their strategies for addressing common challenges of doing grounded theory. It will be valuable for post-graduate researchers, supervisors, professors, lecturers, and professionals in qualitative research.
