Abstract

V originále

To improve the provision of psychotherapy, many countries have now established clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of specific disorders and mental health concerns. These guidelines have typically been based on evidence from meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials with minimal consideration of findings from qualitative research designs. This said, there has been growing interest in incorporating qualitative research in guideline development processes from both stakeholders and guideline development bodies. In this international collaboration, 19 qualitative psychotherapy researchers from 10 countries articulated the benefits of including qualitative findings within the guideline development process and generated recommendations for guideline developers. The underlying question of this report was “Why and how should qualitative research be used in efforts to develop guidance for psychotherapy practice?” The advantages of reviewing qualitative findings included the ability to identify treatment patterns at the level of in-session dynamics, cultural contexts, interpersonal relationships, and internal experiences, thereby creating guidance that is responsive to clients’ needs in the moment-to-moment therapy process. Recommendations are offered at the systemic level (e.g., guideline formation processes, methods of education, research funding priorities). Also, methodological advice is offered for guideline developers when selecting to incorporate qualitative research in the implementation of an expanded guideline development process.
