| | Case study - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The use of case studies for the creation of new theory in social sciences has been further developed by the sociologists Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss who presented their research method, Grounded theory, in 1967. | | | Case studies have, of course, also been used as a teaching method and as part of professional development. | | | Illustrative case studies describe a domain; they use one or two instances to analyze a situation. |

| | Application of a Case Study Methodology |
| | Case studies tend to be selective, focusing on one or two issues that are fundamental to understanding the system being examined. | | | Some of the early criticism of the case study as a research methodology was that it was unscientific in nature, and because replication was not possible. | | | The third condition, that was present in the Levy (1988) study and is evident in the current study, is that the events being examined are contemporary, although historic information was used. |

| | Another advantage of the case study is that they present opportunities that researchers could not otherwise have. | | | Much of what we know about the human brain comes from case studies of people who have had surgeries or accidents. | | | For example, researchers interested in jury processes could do a case study of one jury. |

| | The study by Harris and other researchers involved 990 patients admitted during a year to the Mid America Heart Institute program of St. Luke’s Hospital. | | | William Harris, a heart researcher and the lead author of the study, said in 1999 when the results were published that it’s “potentially a super- or other-than-natural mechanism,” or a “natural explanation we don’t understand yet.” | | | Patients who were prayed for suffered about 10 percent fewer complications, ranging from chest pains to cardiac arrest, after four weeks, according to the study. |

| | Time is needed for building rapport, examining the antecedents of the problem, exploring the meaning of the symptoms in the person’s life, assessing which therapeutic modalities are most appropriate for the unique situation, applying them, observing, and revising. | | | If we try to understand the results in terms of the stock concepts of psychotherapy—such as insight, cognitive restructuring, reward and punishment, or the curative powers of the relationship—they make no sense. | | | What might account for the contrast between the videotaped outcomes with the patients at the V.A. hospital, corroborated by thousands of similar cases reported by growing numbers of energy-oriented therapists, and conventional wisdom regarding the therapeutic process? |
