This book provides an introduction to the qualitative methods most commonly used in mental health and psychotherapy contexts. It is aimed at those wanting to better understand the papers they read as well as those looking for specific guidance for their own research. The editors and writers draw on their own experience as qualitative researchers, clinical trainers, and mental health practitioners. The book provides: guidance on conducting a qualitative study from across a range of approaches; guidance on how to review and appraise existing qualitative literature; how to choose the most appropriate method; and how to consider ethical issues. The authors explain how specific methods have been applied to questions in mental health research and include examples drawn from recent research, including research with service users, in mental health practice and in psychotherapy. The book is in three main parts. The first introduces the basic tenets, the second includes chapters on each of a range of approaches, and the third addresses research quality and future directions. Methods discussed include: interpretative phenomenological analysis; existentialist-informed hermeneutic phenomenology; grounded theory methods; discourse analysis; narrative psychology; ethnomethodology/conversation analysis; Q methodological research; and thematic analysis.
