Summary "The need to show how and why counselling works has led to an explosion of research activity. Qualitative research is particularly suited to answering the kinds of questions that counsellors and psychotherapists need to ask about their practice. This book has been written to help researchers find their way through the range of methodologies and techniques available to them." "For all those involved in research - whether as part of academic study or in practice - Qualitative Research in Counselling and Psychotherapy will be essential reading. As an introduction to qualitative methods, this book is certain to be widely recommended for courses in counselling, counselling psychology, psychotherapy and clinical psychology. It will also be of interest to those who provide counselling in other professional arenas such as nursing and social work."--BOOK JACKET
