London: Sage - The third edition published this year is a much expanded and more international edition. Critical Realism : Can healthcare research do without it ? ABSTRACT: Healthcare research is quite sharply divided between positivist and mainly quantitative work, and social constructionist/interpretive mainly qualitative approaches. Each sees serious flaws and limitations in the other's research. Critical realism can help us to understand their deeper and common problems, and ways to draw on their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. This session will be a basic introduction to key ideas in critical realism, to why these ideas matter, and how they can be applied in practice to all kinds of healthcare research.
