Description

This textbook provides a guide to the development of a rigorous and creative research-supported practice for students, practitioners, and�researchers in counselling and psychotherapy. With an emphasis on critical thinking and �research mindedness�, it introduces practical research skills and links them to self-awareness and critical reflection.� Learning how to creatively and effectively use oneself in the treatment process is an essential component in therapy training and this level of self-awareness has long been a neglected area in research � until now. With examples ranging from private therapeutic practice to psychiatric related research, each chapter combines �how-to-do-it� advice with illustrative real-life examples. The authors outline the use of a broad range of research methods, embracing Arts- as well as RCT-based research, and covering qualitative, quantitative, pluralistic and mixed methods approaches.� Whether you are engaging with research for the first time or already developing your own research projects, if you are a student at diploma level or taking a Postgraduate research course for counsellors, psychotherapists and counselling psychotherapists, this is essential reading for anyone looking for a book that combines self-awareness with analytical and practical skills. �Typham this is the title: Enjoying Research in Counselling and Psychotherapy Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed Methods Research 1st Edition
