“…While most nurses recognize that nursing research is beneficial to the profession, individual nurses in practice may feel that they are too busy with patient care to participate in or support nursing research on their unit. Sandberg, Johnson, Robia, and Miller (2002) pointed out that lack of time is a major barrier to clinical research.…”

“…They may come from outside the unit or outside the institution itself so the unit nurses may question whether the project is supported or simply "tolerated" by the institution. Sandberg et al (2002) studied family therapy practitioners seeking information about whether they would participate in a hypothetical study. Respondents cited concerns noted above, leading the investigators to suggest that researchers and nurses should attempt to build collaborative relationships before beginning any study in which collaboration is required.…”

“…Some researchers (Johnson 2003;Sandberg et al 2002) have proposed more frequent use of intensive, indepth case studies, which seems to answer some of the problems in MFT research, especially the applicability of research for practitioners. Case-based research seems to have great potential in this direction, since it is usually more directly connected with the clinical skills and knowledge of family therapists.…”

“…Research often has been performed for scholarly interest (e.g., proving the success of one school or model versus other schools, which has often been important in outcome research) rather than for clinical application (Kopta et al 1999). Practitioners would like research more directly related to clinical practice (Sandberg et al 2002), focusing on the therapist's and/or client's behavior, and leading to an understanding of important moments of change during therapy: what in the therapy process produces change, and what the ''next move'' should be during treatment (Sprenkle and Moon 1996). Process research seeks to cover this area and explain how and why change occurs in therapy (Diamond and Diamond 2001;Elliott et al 2001;Johnson 2003).…”

Marital and Family Therapist’s Action Research in Light of Some Research Problems: A One-Cycle Example

et al. 2010

Some major problems in marital and family therapy (MFT) research remain evident. Practitioners often see research as insufficiently related to their concerns and want it to be more applicable. Often-used integrative (or eclectic) practices in MFT and their idiographic nature make the applicability of research even more problematic. Greater use of action research, which often has been overlooked in MFT, could be useful for addressing some of these problems. There are many types of action research; one of the most common uses repeating cycles of the four basic steps (observing and gathering information, reflecting, planning, and acting). In this article the authors' use of these four steps for studying MFT is presented and discussed in the light of some research trends and problems. A one-cycle case example is used to illustrate the process.Keywords Action research Á Marital and family therapy research Á Psychotherapy research Á Process research Á Research problems Á Transferability Research in marital and family therapy (MFT) is becoming increasingly productive, important, and well-developed. For example, efficacy research has provided increasing evidence to support the effectiveness of family-based psychotherapies for a variety of psychological disorders (for a review cf. Pinsof and Wynne 1995; Sprenkle 2002). Despite the important successes of MFT research, however, some major problems in MFT research are still evident.

“…Further, many practicing MFT clinicians experience barriers to research involvement and using clinical research in their practice. Sandberg, Johnson, Robila, and Miller (2002) investigated the most common barriers to practicing MFTs participating in research and use of research in practice. MFTs reported several barriers to participating in research such as time, money, lack of a supportive research environment, client concerns (e.g., research may be harmful to clients or to the therapeutic relationship), and lack of understanding of the research study.…”

The chasm between research and practice in family psychology is similar to couple dynamics in a failing long-term marriage. The relationship between the two is characterized by poor communication skills, perceived lack of shared values, and different worldviews. Perhaps the key to improving the relationship between these seemingly different entities rests within understanding the narrative of this relationship.Many of the first family therapy theorists were both researchers and clinicians (e.g., Murray Bowen, Gregory Bateson, Don Jackson, etc.; Nichols & Schwartz, 1995). They created a narrative emphasizing science; indeed, their principal theory, general systems theory, is a theory based on not only social science but physical science as well. However, the research methods of these pioneers were far from today's state-of-the-art randomized clinical trial research. As the field developed, family researchers began to adopt more rigorous methodologies, and the clinical implications of such research became less clear and perhaps also, ironically, less convincing to practicing clinicians than earlier, simpler research methods (Nichols & Schwartz, 1995).The goals of the emerging fields of family research and family therapy quickly moved in quite different directions. Family researchers sought to first understand family dynamics and family patterns, believing that to create effective methods of intervention such patterns needed to be identified. In contrast, clinicians, given their needs in practice, sought to develop and disseminate effective interventions. Furthermore, research appeared too reductionistic to clinicians to capture the complex dynamics of families; thus, family research came to be viewed as inapplicable to the real world of family therapy (Tomm, 1986). The academy of researchers came to be highly critical of the application of methods that had limited empirical support.An additional factor in the development of this problem has been theoretical orientation. Those family psychologists trained in the cognitive-behavioral tradition have typically The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Family Psychology Edited by James H. Bray and Mark Stanton
