Researcher as Practitioner: Practitioner as Researcher

We will discuss ways in which clinical practitioners are perfectly positioned and adept at conducting research to examine the patterns across their caseloads and practices to produce immediate change. We use our experience with using Research As Daily Practice to focus on teaching students practices to creatively and integratively research and practice with families who present for therapy. By weaving the actions of research and practice together, practitioners develop broader understandings of, and movement toward, “just” change.
