Mike,
I agree. Barker started a very important tradition and his ethnographic
approach (at a time when no work was dome in naturalistic settings)
greatly influenced my entire way of thinking. (See Soskin and John is
Barker's The Stream of Behaviour.) I think he also pioneered the
possibilities of combining qualitative and quantitative methods, that
you referee to in terms of the density concept and measure, which I
stall use and encourage its use with students caught between these two
methodological traditions,
Vera
