From leading researcher and bestselling author, John McLeod, this new edition of Doing Research in Counselling and Psychotherapy is a book for students and practitioners who wish to undertake a small-scale publishable research study.

The focus is on research projects that are appropriate for student and practitioner researchers: qualitative interview-based research, practice-based outcome studies, case studies, and autoethnographic research. These different genres of research provide a grounding in the main approaches used in counselling and psychotherapy research. This accessible and comprehensive 'how to' guide on conducting a successful research project in counselling and psychotherapy takes you step-by-step through the research journey: initial engagement with the idea of doing research, developing a research question, appreciating the strengths and limitations of both qualitative and quantitative methods, conducting a study, and then finally writing up the findings for potential publication.

Supported by a wide range of case examples and points for reflection, as well as extensive on-line resources, this highly practical introduction to research in counselling, psychotherapy and allied disciplines is essential reading for any trainee or practitioner learning about the research process for the first time.

Industry Reviews

As a psychology student, I believe this book will benefit students learning to write their research studies or professionals who are novices to writing psychotherapy or counselling research studies. [...] a textbook such as this one would have been a significant source of support and I would have felt more confident writing my research study. This book will help me continue to pursue research within counselling and mental health, and it is a vital tool for students and practitioners keen to follow similar paths. -- Sharuni Shanmugaranjan * QMiP Bulletin Issue 35 *
