Abstract
This chapter describes a variety of qualitative methods that can be used within psychotherapy process research (PPR). After a general introduction of qualitative PPR, this chapter focuses on research design, sampling, data collection, and data analysis. This chapter offers a dimensional conceptualization, especially for data collection and analysis, which provides organization to the different methods employed to collect and analyze data in qualitative PPR. Finally, quality criteria for this type of research are examined and briefly discussed.
