The First Edition of InterViews has provided students and professionals in a wide variety of disciplines with the “whys” and “hows” of research interviewing, preparing students for learning interviewing by doing interviews and by studying examples of best practice. The thoroughly revised Second Edition retains its original seven-stage structure, continuing to focus on the practical, epistemological, and ethical issues involved with interviewing. Authors Steinar Kvale and Svend Brinkmann also include coverage of newer developments in qualitative interviewing, discussion of interviewing as a craft, and a new chapter on linguistic modes of interview analysis. Practical and conceptual assignments, as well as new “tool boxes,” provide students with the means to dig deeper into the material presented and achieve a more meaningful level of understanding.

New to This Edition

· Includes new developments in qualitative interviewing: New materials cover narrative, discursive, and conversational analyses.

· Presents interviewing as a social practice: Knowledge produced by interviewing is discussed as linguistic, conversational, narrative, relational, situated, and pragmatic.

· Addresses a variety of interviews forms: In addition to harmonious, empathetic interviews, the authors also cover confrontational interviews.

Intended Audience

This text is ideal for both novice and experienced interview researchers as well as graduate students taking courses in qualitative and research methods in the social sciences and health sciences, particularly departments of Education, Nursing, Sociology, Psychology, and Communication.

Praise for the previous edition:

“I think this is one of the most in-depth treatments of the interview process that I have seen. The frank and realistic approach that the authors take to this topic is rather unique and will be very reassuring to researchers who are undertaking an interview study for the first time.”        
-Lisa M. Diamond, University of Utah

 "Sets the standard." 2010-03-26
By Sean M. Saiter
Steinar Kvale and Svend Brinkmann, in this new, updated edition, continue to provide the qualitative research community with one of the best. This book is a classic, at this point, which means that it has withstood the test of time. It is particularly appropriate for people interested in a phenomenological and hermeneutical (or interpretive) approach to interviews. This new edition contains expanded discussions in the context of critical, feminist, narrative, discursive, constructionsist, and other forms of interviews and the varieties of ways one can frame and conduct them. This edition exists because it is a solid and trustworthy guide to interviewing as a craft rather than a procedure. I have used this book as the main source for my dissertation research because it is just that good. It is clear, well-organized, well-written, and relevant.
