Group for Qualitative Reseach on Mental Health
The group studies growth and change processes in individuals - both in the context of psychotherapy and other psychological treatments, and in the context of their everyday lives. The research is conducted by qualitative methodology and mixed methods, with an emphasis on phenomenological and hermeneutic approaches. The group has dynamic, existential and mindfulness-oriented approaches as specific clinical interests. Thematically the group focuses on first-person perspectives and relational preconditions for development- and recovery-processes.
