Writing from a dramatherapist's perspective, Roger Grainger looks
at methods of researching the arts therapies, and how particular
definitions of research affect our understanding and practising of
arts therapies. He places approaches to research in four
categories: quantitative research (which seeks to demonstrate),
qualitative research (which explains by describing), action
research (which explains by experiencing) and art-based research
(which aims to document in an appropriate language, in this case
art). Grainger evaluates all of these approaches, arguing that our
theoretical or philosophical understanding of what research
actually is has an effect on what we think research can be used
for. Grainger argues that research always involves a trade-off
between two kinds of inaccuracy, numerical and experiential, which
correspond to the imprecise fit of the way we think about life and
life itself. A range of research paradigms is useful because each
regards the world in a different way. Taken together they provide a
range of ways of increasing our understanding.
