Please note: the course offered below will be taught in person, unless otherwise specified as an online course.

PSY 6207 – Qualitative Research in Clinical Psychology

This course builds on foundations in qualitative inquiry to support student’s assessment of the transferability of qualitative empirical and theoretical work for psychological practice. Students learn how to interrogate qualitative research for ontology, epistemology, and methodology to assess the authenticity and trust worthiness of published accounts. Analysis of case study, phenomenological, and discursive applications enable students to discern the strength and limitations inherent in each approach. Evaluation of mixed methods is also included in the course, broadly-speaking for their applicability for understanding health and psychopathology, and specifically in areas such as understanding the appropriateness, impact, and effectiveness of psychological interventions.

The successful applicant should hold a doctoral degree in Clinical or Counselling Psychology.
