US$ 42.95 (+ tax)
The goal of this text is to present a spectrum of research alternatives that can inform clinical practice, inspire the clinician, and guide scholarly dance/ movement therapy (DMT) research. It highlights two basic research frameworks—quantitative (objective) and qualitative (interpretative)—including their underlying philosophic and theoretical tenets. The chapter selections are based on traditional and interpretive methods regarding research considerations. Major sections include creative alternatives and options, artistic inquiry, single-subject designs, case study, applying anthropological methods, postpositivist inquiry, issues of reliability and validity, interviews, observations, and content analysis. Many examples from DMT research are incorporated throughout the text to clarify and amplify each of the various research options. This book will challenge DMT students, practitioners, and researchers to gain new skills for conducting investigative inquiry. The main interest of this book is to inform the DMT audience of the spectrum of artistic and scientific inquiry alternatives that are available, empowering them to meet the challenge
