Much has been written about the basic incompatibility of the dominant quantitative research model in psychotherapy and the qualitative preferences of the practitioner community providing psychotherapy. Researchers and clinicians are at odds over the most valuable type of knowledge needed: that emerging from quantitative, experimental research versus that from qualitative, case-based practice, respectively.Recently, a number of emerging research methods have attempted to bridge and integrate these two approaches. Case Studies within Psychotherapy Trials is one such effort and significantly furthers the synergy between them. The volume provides a comprehensive illustration of the "cases-within-trials" (CWT) model of research. Quantitative findings from four randomized clinical trials (RCT) are synthesized with qualitative and quantitative findings from systematic case studies of successful and unsuccessful clients representatively drawn from each RCT. The book opens with the history of dialectic and political controversy in psychotherapy research and recent initiatives to bridge the differing perspectives. The RCT and case study projects follow, each commented on by outside experts. In the final chapter the editors compare and contrast the separate projects and draw insightful, impactful conclusions. By bringing together quantitative, natural scientific perspectives on research and qualitative, interpretative understandings and strategies, the chapter authors demonstrate how practitioners can be meaningfully included in future psychotherapy research. This book will be of great interest to psychotherapy researchers and practitioners and those interested in research methods in the behavioral sciences more generally.

As the AIDS pandemic continues to rage forward, mental health professionals will increasingly encounter individuals affected by HIV in their clinical practices; it is imperative for them to be well informed about the disease and its treatment. HIV infection is a chronic, multistage illness that progresses from an emotionally challenging asymptotic stage to physically deteriotiating and ultimately fatal stages. During the course of the illness, patients experience multiple challenges that can be unique to the stage of their illness, gender, sexual orientation, or ethnic/racial background. These challenges require flexible and effective coping skills, both specialised and general, to manage the emotional, behavioural and interpersonal disturbances that often accompany HIV illness. Patients at every stage of HIV infection need effective and focused educational and psychosocial interventions to help them cope and adjust to their illness. But because of the unique and variable characteristics of the illness, and the patients afflicted, no one universal intevention is always appropriate.The challenges of enhancing cooperation with medical treatment, modifying risky behaviours, and alleviating suffering among the diverse populations impacted by HIV require specialised expertise and the adoption of general psychological-educational interventions. Over the last few years, several interventions of this kind have been designed, developed and successfully tested. This book describes them in detail, demonstrating their implementation with case examples.
