Nigel King is Professor in Applied Psychology at the University of Huddersfield. He has extensive experience in the development and use of qualitative methods, especially in applied research. Particular interests include phenomenology, PCP methods, Template Analysis and Visual Methods. He is author (with Christine Horrocks and Jo Brooks) of Interviews in Qualitative Research (two editions: Sage) and (with Jo Brooks) Template Analysis for Business and Management Students (Sage). His substantive interests include human response to nature and outdoor spaces, collaborative working in health and social care, and anomalous/exceptional experiences related to dying and bereavement.Joanna Brooks is a Chartered Psychologist and Lecturer in Health Psychology at the University of Manchester. Her research interests include the long-term management of chronic and palliative illness conditions in the home environment, and networks of communication and support in health and social care.  She has particular expertise in qualitative research methods and her work is informed by an interest in the development and use of novel and inclusive approaches to research. She is editor (with Nigel King) of “Applied Qualitative Research in Psychology” (Palgrave, 2017) and author (with Nigel King) of “Template Analysis for Business and Management Students” (Sage, 2017).

As a researcher and educator I find this book to be an invaluable resource, a detailed yet accessible guide for all those engaged in qualitative research.
