Interpreting Interviews

Through the use of eight original metaphors for understanding what may happen in interviews and what may guide the interviewee (more than telling the truth or revealing experiences), the reader is encouraged to do interviews in clever ways. This text enables you to question the interpretive nature and theoretical underpinnings of the interview method, and of the knowledge which is conveyed through it.

The updated second edition includes new content on:

• How to avoid traps in interviews 
• How to use interviewees with experience and insight 
• How to work creatively with generative material
• The value of repeat interviewing over time
