| Summary |
The art and science of psychotherapy requires both intuitive knowledge and empirical discipline. Therapists are artists; researchers are scientists. Therapists do not want to be restricted in their treatment of patients. Researchers labor diligently within the structures of the rules of empiricism: Hypotheses must be tested, refined, and retested, often repeatedly. The researcher's findings must be generalizable to populations outside the original test. The therapist works with individual clients and often must trust instinct in fine-tuning each patient's treatment. In this book scientist-practitioners reflect on their efforts to combine these disparate ways of knowing in their own work. The contributors to this volume share their stories, both their successes and their failures, about balancing research and practice. This book is for all psychological practitioners and researchers, as well as anyone working in the social sciences, who has experienced or wishes to learn more about the essential tension between research and practice.
