This text offers students the opportunity to grasp the importance of using case studies to inform research and is recommended for our students taking an Introduction to Evidence based practice in counselling module

An excellent textbook with clear guidelines to help students understand the importance of developing consistent methods for gathering evidence as they work with cases. The role of case studies for students as they learn about the different theories is essential for them to grasp a practical understanding of applications. This book covers the knowledge of writing case reports in a clear and comprehensive way.

John McLeod is and probably always will be the author we recommend when talking about evidence based practice. His other texts in Doing Counselling Research and Qualitative Research are seminal in this context. This text fills the gap around working with case studies in research, and is very relevant as this is an area that most counsellors will need to be familiar with. The book is well written and if possible makes the subject even more approachable and interesting. Our third year students are now recommended to read this title in relation to all of the third year professional level study modules, as it offers so the opportunity to become familiar with research methodologies and language.

An excellent book which helps people understand the ethics and processes involved in a case study approach. Some very useful examples contained within the book which makes the subject understandable. It has provided me with the motivation to consider applying this in my own practice.

Part of the beauty of this book is the accessibility of the author; as he brings the reader through an exciting, interesting, pragmatic and richly informed account of living qualitative research in action. The book considers; pragmatic, n=1, HSCED, theory-building adn one of my personal favourites - narrative approaches. This book is a required resource for anyone interested in qualitative research or therapy practice. A gem.

A thorough and rigorous review of the latest developments in case study research. Important reading for all counselling and psychotherapy research students, and practitioners who want to write up their clinical work.

This is a useful book, that makes a considered case for the the use of Case Studies for effective research as well as a developmental method for students.

Excellent book, which fills a gap in the current literature; especially useful in clinical psychology training where alternatives to n=1 empirical case studies are not widely accepted.

this has everything that you need for researching

This book has been useful in thinking about revalidation the Social Work degree and its themes will take a more central part in the revalidated degree from 2011-12 onwards.

Doing Research in Counselling and Psychotherapy

Doing Research in Counselling and Psychotherapy

  • John McLeod - University of Oslo, Norway
  • Description

From leading researcher and bestselling author, John McLeod, this new edition of Doing Research in Counselling and Psychotherapy is a book for students and practitioners who wish to undertake a small-scale publishable research study. The focus is on research projects that are appropriate for student and practitioner researchers: qualitative interview-based research, practice-based outcome studies, case studies, and autoethnographic research. These different genres of research provide a grounding in the main approaches used in counselling and psychotherapy research. This accessible and comprehensive 'how to' guide on conducting a successful research project in counselling and psychotherapy takes you step-by-step through the research journey: initial engagement with the idea of doing research, developing a research question, appreciating the strengths and limitations of both qualitative and quantitative methods, conducting a study, and then finally writing up the findings for potential publication. Supported by a wide range of case examples and points for reflection, this highly practical introduction to research in counselling, psychotherapy and allied disciplines is essential reading for any trainee or practitioner learning about the research process for the first time. You will find extensive online resources to support your teaching and learning on the SAGE website.

Supplements

As a psychology student, I believe this book will benefit students learning to write their research studies or professionals who are novices to writing psychotherapy or counselling research studies. [...] a textbook such as this one would have been a significant source of support and I would have felt more confident writing my research study. This book will help me continue to pursue research within counselling and mental health, and it is a vital tool for students and practitioners keen to follow similar paths.

This book provides an excellent overview for students trying to navigate the different strands (sometimes the seemingly incompatible strands) of clinical training: the academic, clinical and research strands.

I can not keep enough copies of McLeod on the shelves. It is always in very high demand (in every edition). I expect to be ordering more in the next financial year

A much anticipated update to the previous edition. We will certainly be using this as one of our essential texts.
