Therapists are natural investigators, exploring, tracing and considering underlying meanings – it is what we do. Our Enjoying Research conference invites you to consider research as a natural extension of your work – and how it can be both enjoyable and useful.
We will draw on the two books, entitled Enjoying Research in Counselling and Psychotherapy (1 and 2) following research practitioners as they:
• address a practice-based problem
• begin to formulate researchable questions
• consider others’ research in the field
• consider appropriate methodology for their questions
• consider participants and ethics
• gather and analyse their data
• and reflect on the impact and usefulness of their research.
The seminars range from Art- to RCT based research, with questions surrounding researcher support, diversity in research and innovative methodology.Each seminar speaker will forward pre-reading based on their Enjoying Research book chapter and possibly other texts for you to take part in an activity and discussions.
Please book in time for pre-reading to be forwarded!
