"Qualitative Research for Allied Health Professionals - Challenging Choices is a practical text, which addresses the links between philosophy, research method and practice in an accessible, readable way." "The subtitle, 'Challenging Choices', carries a double meaning: qualitative research is both challenging (ie, demanding and stimulating) to undertake and likely to be challenged and contested. In particular, the choices researchers make when designing, carrying out and reporting research will attract scrutiny." "The book is structured in three parts. Part I sensitizes readers to the complex issues which challenge qualitative researchers at the planning stage of their projects. In Part II, the challenge of using different methodologies is critically explored by eleven authors who describe their individual research experiences. Part III examines the choices researchers make when they evaluate and present research."--BOOK JACKET.

Dr. Holly's passion for the subject stems from the quest to cure her own constant weariness--which she struggled with for more than 20 years--as well as the countless complaints of chronic tiredness she hears from patients each day in her internal medicine practice. This guide will help readers understand their exhaustion, rule out any underlying illnesses, correct any allergies or hormonal issues that may be contributing to extreme tiredness. Clear, comprehensive, and practical, this shines a bright light on an issue many people have simply accepted--but that they don't have to any longer.

"The countries of China, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand are brought together for the first time in an integrated and systematic work outlining each country's cultural themes, cultural practices, and preferred conflict resolution mechanisms. The new "ADR" processes and centuries-old mediation and conciliation systems used in these countries are compared with the evolving mediation and ADR systems, including facilitation in North America and the West. This comprehensive study analyzes the cultural "themes" commonly found in these countries' religious conflicts; and presents over thirty different stories, case studies, and conflict resolution scenarios from the region. Culture, Conflict, and Mediation in the Asian Pacific looks beyond traditional regional boundaries to group Hawai'i with the nine Asian countries as an example of mediation systems and cultural influence on the most "Asian" of the U.S. states (over two-thirds of the population of Hawai'i is Asian-American)."--Jacket.
