The art and science of psychotherapy requires both intuitive knowledge and empirical discipline. Therapists are artists, even mavericks. Researchers are scientists. Therapists do not want to be restricted in their treatment of patients. Researchers labor diligently within the strictures of the rules of empiricism: Hypotheses must be tested, refined, and retested, often repeatedly. The researchers' findings must be generalizable to populations outside the original test. The therapist works with individual clients and often must trust instinct in the fine-tuning each patient's treatment. In Reconciling Empirical Knowledge and Clinical Experience: The Art and Science of Psychotherapy, scientist-practitioners reflect on their efforts to combine these disparate ways of knowing their own work. The contributors to this captivating volume share their successes and in their failures, at balancing research with practice. This book is indispensable reading for all scientist-practitioners as well as anyone working in the social sciences who has experienced.

De-mystifying Research,
By claudia catania (Boston University, Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reconciling Empirical Knowledge and Clinical Experience: The Art and Science of Psychotherapy (Hardcover)
As a professor of fine arts who is interested in understanding research methods, and also embarking on a research project to complete the Ph.D. requirement for the Institute for the Study of Violence at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis, I found this book an interesting enhancement to my study. Researchers present thoughts about their studies in a venue for the common man, which of course includes the student who may be just beginning to understand the discipline of research. The ideas are accessible and enjoyable. It is a book that is valuable as a preface to a course in Ph.D. research, as well as simply an enjoyable read for everyone (be it student, practioner, or simply consumer) who comes in contact with the subject of research. I recommend it to the reader who wonders how the process of research happens, and what the conflicts and dilemmas of the researcher entail.
