Qualitative Research Approaches for Psychotherapy: Further Reflexivity, Methodology, and Criticality provides a theoretically informed, scholarly, reflexive, critical text, comprising chapters that connect readers with their own emerging and/or established research projects. The collection builds on the first volume in this series, introducing and exploring the complexity of a range of different research approaches and their ontological, epistemological, and methodological underpinnings. Each chapter acts as a prompt for psychotherapy researchers to think and feel their way, differently, into their research endeavours. This is a collection of compelling and challenging essays, from authors in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres and from a wide range of theoretical and cultural perspectives, that elucidate and exemplify established and emerging approaches to undertaking qualitative psychotherapy research.
