This book is a step-by-step guide to conducting qualitative meta-analysis (QMA).

This flexible and generic method synthesizes the findings of several research studies investigating similar phenomena. Given the ever-increasing number of qualitative studies in the social sciences, QMA answers the need for rigorous secondary analysis that offers a more conclusive picture of a field of inquiry. 

The brief, practical texts in the Essentials of Qualitative Methods series introduce social science and psychology researchers to key approaches to qualitative methods, offering exciting opportunities to gather in-depth qualitative data and to develop rich and useful findings.

Reviews for Essentials of Qualitative Meta-Analysis

This practical field guide is exceptionally instructive, as well as sophisticated about the origins, essence, and rationale of qualitative meta-analysis. Vividly illustrated by real examples throughout. Indispensable for any qualitative researcher—at all stages in their career.  -- Hanne Weie Oddli, PhD, Clinical Psychologist and Professor of Psychology, University of Oslo Here, finally, is an accessible and practical—yet nonetheless comprehensive—guidebook to navigate the discipline of qualitative meta-synthesis. The authors thoroughly illustrate each step of the analysis with helpful examples that allow the reader to clearly envision a new plane of development in qualitative research.    -- Shigeru Iwakabe, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychology, Ritsumeikan University, Co-Editor-in-Chief, Counselling Psychology Quarterly
