《建構(gòu)扎根理論:質(zhì)性研究實(shí)踐指南》講述了扎根理論是具有高度影響力的處理質(zhì)性資料的方式，其創(chuàng)立于1960年代，被西方社會(huì)科學(xué)界公認(rèn)為是過去四十多年中，質(zhì)性研究發(fā)展中最重要的，卻也是最受爭(zhēng)議的方法論基礎(chǔ)之一。

在《建構(gòu)扎根理論:質(zhì)性研究實(shí)踐指南》中，作者引導(dǎo)讀者接觸在社會(huì)研究中使用扎根理論的技術(shù)，為那些對(duì)這個(gè)領(lǐng)域還陌生的人提供了清晰的、循序漸進(jìn)的指導(dǎo)?！督?gòu)扎根理論:質(zhì)性研究實(shí)踐指南》通篇使用了許多精選的例子，描畫出了扎根理論的奠基人格拉澤和施特勞斯所提出的扎根理論圖景之外的另一種景象。作者認(rèn)為，扎根理論必須從其實(shí)證主義源頭那里繼續(xù)發(fā)展，把過去20年來由建構(gòu)主義者所提出的很多方法和問題融人進(jìn)來，使其成為一種更加細(xì)致和更具反思性的實(shí)踐。因而《建構(gòu)扎根理論:質(zhì)性研究實(shí)踐指南》對(duì)于學(xué)生、研究新手以及經(jīng)驗(yàn)老道的社會(huì)科學(xué)家，都是一種基礎(chǔ)性的閱讀。
