Case Study Houses

The goal of a case-study method is to complete a “generalization” and not a “particularizing” analysis (Lipset et al., Trow, & Coleman, 1956, pp. 419-420) (as cited in Yin, 2104). At present, Yin (2014) agreed that case studies are generalizable to theoretical propositions and not to populations or universes. He pointed out that a good case-study design establishes the logic that links the data to the initial question(s) of the study. He also argued that a good theoretical…

information on the Americas and European is numerous. There is evidence the authors wrote the textbook in a Eurocentric tone.

In the case study “That’s What I was Going to Do Anyway”, Dave, the restaurant owner, overhears Bill, a server, make a mistake by not following the booking confirmation procedure. What follows is a confrontation that is subjected to a self-fulfilling prophecy as a perception tool, error of polarized thinking, four misuses of language, and the C.O.N.T.R.O.L mode of talk. A “self-fulfilling prophecy” takes shape when we predict how others will behave, and we act towards them as if that were true…

As I was reading the case study, the clinician seemed to work well and interpret what Theresa was stating to him; however, on one occasion, the therapist stated that he had overreached when interpreting a statement Theresa had made.

children’s eyewitness identification. The studies done by Rush et al (2014) and Hritz et al (2015) identify the impact of stress on the child, which can be reduced through the supportive guidance of well-informed adult interviewers in the identification of suspect in a line up. These findings provide empirical evidence of the supportive environment that is needed to reduce memory lapses that occur in children that have been exposed to extreme stress and trauma in cases of sexual or physical…
