A suitable paradigm for psychotherapy

Abstract

This review will focus on research — not particularly the results of research, although some will be mentioned, but on approaches and attitudes to research in psychotherapy. The brief given to me by the editors was to review my choice of literature published between January and June 2013. In meeting the brief I decided to focus on a research report by Rolf Holmqvist, Thomas Ström and Anniqa Foldemo, and, although their results are interesting, it is the philosophy and method of their research in which I am particularly interested.
