An inside look at the work lives of college interns and their uncertain path to paid employment While generations of young adults used to spend their summers working as lifeguards or camp counselors, college students today are more likely to seek office experience as interns. Blame the Intern takes readers into the workspaces of the music industry to show how internships, especially unpaid ones, are problematic introductions to the working world that often provide little valuable training and are unlikely to lead to a job. Since the 1980s, shifts in labor markets and careers have made employers less prone to invest in training entry-level employees who may quickly change jobs anyway. In recent decades, higher education has filled the gap, fueling an explosive growth of internships to facilitate the transition from college to a career. Drawing on in-depth interviews with interns, record label employees, and college personnel, as well as his own experiences as an unpaid intern at two music industry firms in New York City, Alexandre Frenette sheds light on who benefits from the intern economy, who suffers, and why. He finds that internships are rife with ambiguity because employers are neither trained nor greatly rewarded to mentor and colleges are ill-equipped to provide workplace guidance. As a result, there is little consensus about what interns should be doing or what benefits they should be gaining from their experience, which can often lead to inequality, exploitation, and disappointment. Timely and provocative, Blame the Intern demonstrates how employers and institutions of higher learning are redefining what it means to break in—and reveals what happens when few can.

Social Work Supervision in a Digitalized World

Empirische Untersuchungen kritischer Lebensereignisse wie Verlusterfahrungen, Gewalterleben oder andere biografische Störungen sind ethisch zu fundieren. Hierzu schlägt der Autor eine Brücke zwischen normativ-theoretischen Reflexionen und forschungspraktischen Anregungen. Am Beispiel typischer Herausforderungen des Untersuchungsfeldes werden für die Phasen vor, während und nach der Datenerhebung konkrete Handlungsorientierungen erarbeitet.
Der Autor behandelt dabei Fragen wie: Welchen Werten und Prinzipien soll Forschung zu kritischen Lebensereignissen folgen? Begünstigt partizipative Forschung sozial erwünschte Ergebnisse? Wie kann potenziellen Belastungen Forschungsteilnehmender oder einer Betroffenheit von Forschenden begegnet werden? Wem steht die Deutungshoheit in dem eher defizitorientierten Forschungsbereich zu?

"Anyone who seeks to understand people-in design, business, or the social sciences-should read this book carefully, and more than once. I know I will." 
-Christian Madsbjerg, Author of Sensemaking: What Makes Human Intelligence Essential in the Age of the Algorithm

"Inviting Depth is a master class for every researcher who wants to lead effective interviews."
-Chris Chapman, PhD, President, Quantitative User Experience Association

"A groundbreaking book with clear, practical techniques for making the participant's experience of an interview better for opening up and sharing more."
-Steve Portigal, Author of Interviewing Users
Seeing people deeply is essential for creating emotionally resonant products and services. But reaching that depth means moving beyond conventional interviewing practices.

Inviting Depth is a practical guide for product design and UX researchers who want to move beyond surface-level interviews and create the conditions for research participants to share openly and meaningfully. It provides concrete, actionable guidance on how small shifts in mindset and practice can lead to more thoughtful conversations and more grounded product decisions.

Drawing on extensive industry research experience, Brandon Berry and Tom Williams argue that rich understanding doesn't come from better questions alone. It comes from intentionally designing the interview experience around how participants actually want to feel: prepared, appreciated, engaged, and-above all-empowered to speak in their own authentic voice.

More than a traditional research manual, Inviting Depth reimagines what interviewing asks of researchers in the AI era. It introduces a participant-centered framework that doubles down on what humans do best: empathy, emotional attunement, and genuine connection. Through 28 field-tested techniques and a wide range of real-world examples, the book shows how to help participants feel at ease and share more deeply.

Written for practitioners in product development, design and UX research, and innovation teams, Inviting Depth reframes interviewing as a human encounter--one where care, presence, and attention to participant experience are essential tools for understanding people well.
