Background: Case study research has been used increasingly in psychology and sociology in recent years. It provides researchers with an opportunity to explore a situation involving one individual or several individuals over time from multiple points of view.
Methods: This literature review explains case study research as a method and summerises its scientific merit, also providing an example of its use.
Results: Case study research offers occupational therapists a scientific methodology that can be used to understand and develop occupational therapy practice.
Conclusion: This paper argues that case study research should be used more extensively by occupational therapists as the method respects the basic principles of occupational therapy.
