Additional Book Details

Learning how to use critical self-reflection creatively when practising therapy is an important component of training. This level of self-awareness is, however, often neglected in research, despite the centrality of the researcher to their work.   <p>Doing Practice-based Research in Therapy: A Reflexive Approach makes the vital link between practical research skills and self-awareness, critical reflection and personal development in practice-based research. Starting with a clear introduction to the theory, practice and debates surrounding this type of research, the book then guides the reader step-by-step through the practicalities of the research process, encouraging them to reflect upon and evaluate their practice at each stage.</p> <p>The book:</p> <p>- incorporates case studies throughout to illustrate different methodological approaches </p> <p>- uses real life examples from students conducting practice-based psychotherapy research</p> <p>- includes exercises, chapter objectives, end-of-chapter questions and suggestions for further reading to help consolidate learning</p> <p>- encourages ongoing personal development by introducing personal development planning (PDP) and lifelong learning in the field of research.<br/> <br/> By demystifying the reflexive approach, this highly practical guide ensures that trainees and qualified therapists get the most, both professionally and personally, from their practice-based research. </p>
