Abstract
Participant observation is a method of research which suffers paradoxically from its own merits, since it yields up far more data than one can neatly conceptualize and statistically manipulate. Nevertheless, clinicians and social scientists have long been aware that it is often the method of choice, especially when the universe to be sampled is of indeterminate size or character, or when the subject of inquiry is of such known complexity that the complexity itself becomes the subject of inquiry.
