title: Windows into clients' perspectives on psychotherapy.
abstract: In this brief discussion I highlight some dimensions of Angus and Kagan's (2013); Olivera, Braun, Gomez Penedo, and Roussos (2013); and Jock, Bolger, Olivera, and Roussos (2013) articles that are of particular interest to me. Reading their articles has served as a catalyst for me to reflect at a more general level on the state of the art of qualitative methods in psychotherapy research, and to articulate some informal reflections about qualitative research.
