Author(s) : John McLeod, Author(s) : Julia McLeod

Reviews and Endorsements

An important step-change in how we think about research inclusion and democratisation in counselling and psychotherapy.
Angela Sweeney,Senior Lecturer in User-Led Research, King's College London

This latest book by John and Julia McLeod delves into the intricacies of collaborative participatory research that aims to reconfigure the stances of power and privilege that shape how knowledge is generated and interpreted. Ethics of Participatory Research in Counselling and Psychotherapy not only offers an incredible depth of scholarship and information, it is also inspiring and encourages the enrichment of research approaches by giving voice to marginalized and overlooked perspectives. The ethical and engaged consideration leads the reader to reflect on their own relationship with research and knowledge generation. I predict that the book will become a go to reference point for anybody conducting research in counselling and psychotherapy.
Ladislav Timulak, counselling psychologist and practicing therapist; involved in the training of future practitioners and researchers as Professor in Counselling Psychology at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

I wish this book had been available before I did my participatory research with NHS psychotherapy clients on Complex PTSD because it would have saved me a lot of time and trouble! It will be an invaluable resource for any therapist or trainee who believes that clients need to have a voice in research in order to make that research credible - central priority in relation to the democratisation of the research enterprise.
Dr Catherine Matheson, EMDR Consultant, Supervisor in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, practising in south London

I am confident that Ethics of Participatory Research in Counselling and Psychotherapy: Justice, Solidarity, and Care will prove a cherished resource, for students of research right through to seasoned academics. John and Julia McLeod connect with their audience through a direct and common-sense writing style, informed by a deep engagement with the experience of those whose project and program examples bring the book’s ideas to life. The pluralistic ethic advanced here is distinctive and offers a frame through which to capture the complexity of the moral landscapes researchers find themselves operating within.
