This book examines innovative approaches to the use of qualitative
methods in mental health research. It describes the development and
use of methods of data collection and analysis designed. These
methods address contemporary and interdisciplinary research
questions, such as how to access the voices of vulnerable
populations, understand the relationship between experience and
discourse, and identify processes and patterns that characterize
institutional practices. The book offers insight into projects that
reflect various cultural contexts and geographical locations as
well as involve diverse research teams, ranging in their
methodology from individual case studies to community-based
interventions. Chapters address how research method selection needs
to be tailored to specific contexts within which studies are
carried out and how synthesizing diverse perspectives of different
disciplines - such as psychology, sociology, linguistics, history,
and art - make a research endeavor more fruitful. The book offers a
clear framework in which to assess the research presented in the
book as well as map future directions for qualitative methodology
in mental health research. Key areas of coverage include projects
that describe research with: * Individuals confronted with critical
life events. * Former psychiatric patients. * Individual and couple
psychotherapy clients. * Clients in a forensic setting. * Persons
affected by psychosis. * Dementia patients. * People living with
cancer. * Health care professionals. Qualitative Research Methods
in Mental Health is a valuable resource for researchers,
professors, and graduate students as well as therapists and other
professionals in clinical and counseling psychology, psychotherapy,
social work, and family therapy as well as all interrelated
psychology and medical disciplines. Chapter 10, "Engraved in the

In this powerful volume, six qualitative methods are used to
analyze a couple therapy with a troubled young couple, illustrating
the intricate processes and sub-processes of therapy through client
interactions with their therapists and with each other.
Increasingly popular for revealing the nuances and complexity of
human interactions, qualitative approaches focus on process and
discursive methods which can be particularly rewarding in
multi-client settings. Through the examples that make up the text,
practitioners and researchers become better acquainted with the
power of qualitative perspectives and are encouraged to examine
their own views on therapy as they consider these and other
concepts: The development of dialogical space in a couple therapy
session. Introducing novelties into therapeutic dialogue: the
importance of minor shifts of the therapist. Therapists' responses
for enhancing change through dialogue: dialogical investigations of
change. Fostering dialogue: exploring the therapists' discursive
contributions in a couple therapy. Dominant story, power, and
positioning. Constructing the moral order of a relationship in
couples therapy. Research Perspectives in Couple Therapy:
Discursive Qualitative Methods ably demonstrates the balance
between therapeutic art and science for family and couples
therapists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals in
research and practice.
The founding volume of the European Family Therapy Association book
series presents new ideas confirming the crucial importance of
systemic family therapy for family practice. Spanning paradigms,
models, concepts, applications, and implications for families as
they develop, experts in the field demonstrate the translatability
of session insights into real-world contexts, bolstering
therapeutic gains outside the treatment setting. Chapters emphasize
the potential for systemic family therapy as integrative across
theories, healing disciplines, modes of treatment, while
contributors' personal perspectives provide unique takes on the
therapist's role. Together, these papers promote best practices not
only for therapy, but also research and training as professionals
delve deeper into understanding the complexity and diversity of
families and family systems. Origins and Originality in Family
Therapy and Systemic Practice offers practitioners and other
professionals particularly interested in family therapy practice
timely, ethical tools for enhancing their work.

This book examines systemic family therapy research, addressing key
topics across the interrelated disciplines of psychotherapy, social
work, and counseling. Drawing from contributions at the 2017
International Systemic Research Conference in Heidelberg, it
includes both quantitative and qualitative research perspectives
and outlines a wide array of approaches, using systems theory and
constructivist epistemology. In addition, the book focuses on
innovative paradigms, research strategies, and methods, seeking to
bridge the gap between research and practice in the field of
systemic family therapy. Finally, it provides guidance on
submitting and maximizing the likelihood of research paper
acceptance to leading family therapy journals. Topics featured in
this book include: Effectiveness of research-informed systemic
therapy. Mindfulness and compassion-based interventions in
relational contexts. Use of SCORE (Systemic Clinical Outcome and
Routine Evaluation) as an indicator of family functioning in
Europe. Systemic approaches for working with couples with high
conflict behaviors. Therapeutic-Factor-Oriented skill building in
systemic counseling. Importance of client feedback in development
of professional knowledge base. Systemic Research in Individual,
Couple, and Family Therapy and Counseling is a must-have resource
for researchers, professors, and graduate students in family
therapy, clinical psychology, general practice/family medicine, and
social work as well as all interrelated psychology and medical
disciplines.

What is meant by narrative therapy and further narrative practice?
What conceptual and methodological advancements and new
developments has it experienced in recent years? How can narrative
work be done in a wide variety of contexts and settings, what
impulses for cross-school, advisory and therapeutic activities
result from this? This comprehensive handbook provides well-founded
and multifaceted information about terminology and theoretical
backgrounds, but above all about the practice of narrative
procedures in psychosocial and organizational work areas. Fed from
the narrative therapy of White and Epston, the philosophy of
Deleuze and Braidotti and other sources, more than 45 authors of
national and international standing contribute a wide range of new
creative approaches, underpin narrative understanding with
theoretical basic texts, present current Results of narrative
research and give space to socially critical perspectives. In times
of constant socio-political change, this handbook opens up a
multitude of new possibilities for thinking and acting for those
working in therapy, counseling and science. With contributions
