title: How to do discovery-oriented psychotherapy research.
abstract: A discovery-oriented approach to psychotherapy research relies on discovery-oriented research questions. Four such questions are illustrated, together with the logistics of this approach to research, and the practical working steps in carrying out a program of discovery-oriented research. A case is made for the superior elegance of the discovery-oriented approach to psychotherapy research.
