Multiple case-based interpretive phenomenological analysis

Multiple case-based interpretive phenomenological analysis (multi-case IPA) applies the close, idiographic reading of IPA to a set of purposively selected cases, conducting detailed within-case analysis before systematically comparing themes across cases. The approach retains IPA's commitment to understanding individual lived experience in depth while allowing the researcher to identify convergent and divergent patterns across structurally similar situations or participant groups.
