In Pursuit Of Aesthetic Research Provocations, Barbara A. Kaufman Sep 1992

In Pursuit Of Aesthetic Research Provocations, Barbara A. Kaufman

The Qualitative Report

In keeping with new narrative metaphors in the family therapy field and new epistemological approaches to clinical interaction, literature as a paradigm for qualitative inquiry and evaluation is discussed. Description of a research project that explores how fictional literature can be integrated into graduate programs reveals a multi-layered, aesthetic approach to family therapy research and training as well as the design of project-specific methodology (Chenail, 1992a).


Qualitative Research: Central Tendencies And Ranges, Ronald J. Chenail Sep 1992

Qualitative Research: Central Tendencies And Ranges, Ronald J. Chenail

The Qualitative Report

It is always interesting to listen closely when someone says, "Qualitative research is..." or curious to read intently an article or book which prominently features "qualitative research" in the title, and then experience a strange, defamiliarization process as the words of the conversation, lecture, article, or book don't seem to fit your notion of what "qualitative research" is and isn't.

A Case For Clinical Qualitative Research*, Ronald J. Chenail

The Qualitative Report

For the most part, that which is called qualitative research has been developed, understood, and justified within scientific and quantitative contexts.

This latter type, clinical qualitative or practitioner-generated research, is defined and contrasted with the scientific and artistic varieties. A number of clinical qualitative research projects are …

When Research Interviews Are More Therapeutic Than Therapy Interviews, Jerry Gale Sep 1992

When Research Interviews Are More Therapeutic Than Therapy Interviews, Jerry Gale

The Qualitative Report

This brief report presents some preliminary results of part of a study currently being conducted (Gale, 1992, May). The study is a qualitative analysis of a couple's and therapist's perspective of meaningful moments in therapy using Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) (Elliott, 1986). The methodology of this study involved the collaborators (aka: subjects) in a manner that was self-reflexive and recursive (see Steier, in press). The impact of the study was such that the research interviews themselves were reported to have greater therapeutic impact than the therapy. Following eight sessions of marital therapy, the couple reported that therapy was not helpful, …
