This hands-on introduction to psychotherapy process research methods takes the student clinician/researcher through the basic steps of developing a research project based on a transcript of a psychotherapy session. The major text-based methods in use are introduced in separate chapters, and illustrated with detailed examples and exercises which will enable the novice researcher to explore the therapeutic interaction from a variety of perspectives. The aim of the book is to support and enhance clinical practice through research competence and awareness.

'This book makes an important contribution to the field of psychotherapy research for clinicians. It is especially timely as it responds to the demand of the current climate for critical thinking and evaluation of ongoing clinical work.' - Judith Woodhead, Journal of Analytical Psychology
