Consensual qualitative research (CQR): Methods for conducting psychotherapy research

Abstract

In this chapter, I describe the background and methods used in consensual qualitative research (CQR). Specifically, I describe the original CQR method used in interviews (CQR-I). Then I describe CQR-M (CQR modified to use with short, simple data) and CQR-C (CQR applied to case studies). I close the chapter with a comparison or the similarities and differences between the three CQR methods.
