‘Comprehensive, passionate, right out at the growing edge of psychotherapy research and even slightly beyond it, this book maps out where case study research come from, what it looks like today and what its future will look like.’
Robert Elliot, Professor of Counselling, University of Strathclyde
‘This is an excellent book that has been needed by the counselling and psychotherapy profession for some considerable time. It has been worth the wait.

This book provides the reader with a unique introduction to the practical and conceptual tools required to conduct high quality case study research that is grounded in their own therapy practice or training. Drawing on real-life cases at the heart of therapeutic practice, John McLeod makes complex debates and concepts engaging and accessible for trainees and practitioners at all levels and, from all theoretical orientations. Points for reflection or discussion and recommendations for further reading allow readers to use the book as a basis for carrying out their own case investigation.
Key topics include
· the role of case studies in counselling and psychotherapy theory, practice and policy
· responding to moral and ethical issues in therapy case study research.
· ‘how-to-do-it’ guides for carrying out different types of case study and collecting data
· team based case study research for practitioners and students
· questions, issues and challenges for trainees
All trainees in counselling, psychotherapy and clinical psychology are required to complete case reports and this is the only textbook to cover the topic in real depth. The book will also be valuable to people using existing case studies to inform their practice and will help experienced practitioners generate publishable case reports.
