This study uses the diary entries of a Russian-Jewish immigrant to demonstrate the theory of case study research, and to explain how the results enhance understanding of human behaviour. The text concludes with general theoretical questions related to case studies and their rationale.

Can the case study, or psychobiographical method be a relevant research tool in the social sciences? This book explores this question by examining the effectiveness of the case study method in hypothesis formation and theory building by using excerpts from the actual diary of a Jewish-Russian immigrant. By interpreting each journal entry through the use of several theoretical formats, Abramson demonstrates how to undertake case study research and use the results to enhance our understanding of human behaviour.
