Therapeutic effects of qualitative research: Reconstructing the experience of treatment as a by-product of qualitative evaluation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article argues that therapeutic effects can emerge from qualitative evaluation interviews in which the client reconstructs the experience of treatment. The effects stem from the context of the evaluation interview, the interviewer-interviewee relationship, and the content of the interview. Therapeutic effects should be taken into consideration in the process of data collection and data analysis, both for research and ethical reasons.
