“…Some researchers suggest that the experimental method which is borrowed from the 'natural' sciences is an inappropriate design for research in the social sciences for study with human beings and instead advocate qualitative phenomenological research (Landridge, 2007). Others have speculated that the desire for certainty stemming from experimental methods seems 'at odds' with the fluid nature of personal meaning in the therapeutic encounter (Milton, 2006).…”

This study explored the personal accounts of service users relating to their experiences of being in group cognitive behavioural therapy (GCBT) for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Eight participants were purposively selected from two groups whose therapy had finished. These participants were interviewed, the data transcribed verbatim and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Five superordinate themes were generated: ‘Engagement in the group process’, ‘Normalizing’, ‘Courage to fight’, ‘Being my own therapist’ and ‘Restricted vs. engagement with life’. The findings in this study have implications for theory in terms of the relevance of shame-based appraisals in conceptualizations of OCD. Suggestions for future groups include the importance of exploring the development of the problem in the group setting and highlight an important role for the group in terms of increasing motivation and preventing dropout. Directions for future research and implications for theory are explored.

“…Patients who would benefit from this approach include those: The difficulty of attempting to get this approach accepted in the profession is due to the lack of evidence as there has been little research into the role counselling can play in the care of patients. 52 Increasingly in medicine there is a requirement for practice to be evidence based. 53 CBT is the area of counselling most suited to formal research with the possibility of controlled randomised trials versus placebos.…”

This article attempts to explain reasons behind the general public's fear of dentistry by examining the historical perspective and, using case scenarios, demonstrates areas where patients' dental treatment might have been helped by the use of counselling. Distinguishing between the use of counselling skills vis-à-vis professional counselling, the wider issues for the dental profession -education, boundaries and the need for referrals -are explored. It is suggested that if a counsellor were included as part of the dental team, patients and professionals would benefit. The counsellor could act as an advisor and educator for the team in addition to undertaking professional counselling on referral. Patients with anxiety or phobias could be recognised and helped appropriately and occupational stress experienced by practitioners would be reduced.
