“…Identifying which clinical hypotheses best describe a particular client’s depression provides a method for choosing specific intervention strategies that are likely to help a particular client. Case study research has begun to explore the feasibility of MTP-D (Harris et al, 2012). Future research using clinical trials will be necessary to establish the feasibility and efficacy of MTP-D.…”

“…A recent case study exploring the feasibility of MTP-D with a depressed woman in her early 60s illustrates this process of treatment planning (Harris, Kelley, & Slack, 2012). After the client described her depression in a general way, the psychotherapist conducted a multidimensional survey of thoughts, actions, feelings, and interpersonal relationships.…”

“…The focus of treatment can shift over time as new themes emerge. For example, in the case study introduced earlier, the initial multidimensional survey and multitheoretical conceptualization resulted in a focus on the interaction between maladaptive emotions (experiential hypothesis A) and disrupted relationship (interpersonal hypothesis B; Harris et al, 2012). Over time, however, the client displayed dysfunctional thinking in the form of negative interpretations (cognitive hypothesis A).…”

Multitheoretical psychotherapy for depression is based on the conclusions that many different treatments are effective and diverse psychotherapeutic approaches are based on different clinical hypotheses. Multitheoretical psychotherapy for depression describes a method for choosing an optimal approach or combining interventions from empirically supported treatments based on client characteristics and preferences. A practical method for treatment planning is described that involves (a) conducting a multidimensional survey, (b) establishing 1 or more focal dimensions, (c) formulating a multitheoretical conceptualization that identifies relevant clinical hypotheses, and (d) choosing interventions from a catalog of key strategies. Multitheoretical psychotherapy for depression describes 12 clinical hypotheses and 45 key strategies to help psychotherapists make treatment decisions based on individual client characteristics in a way that is consistent with recommendations for evidence-based practice in psychology.

“…Methodological pluralism is an early and sustained attempt at utilizing diverse approaches, but it may tend toward unreflective eclecticism through selecting techniques in an opportunistic manner, thereby risking charge of inconsistency. Attempts are underway to rectify this problem, and rationales have been produced for the disciplined selection of methods (for an analogy with regard to the development of integrative psychotherapy from more eclectic forms, see Brookes-Harris, 2008). Sechrest and Sidani (1995) suggest using formulaic (constrained by external and formal rules) and clinical (unconstrained and personal) approaches, similar to but not coterminous with quantitative and qualitative methods, as a check on each other.…”

In discussing the place of diverse qualitative research within psychological science, we highlight the potential permeability of the quantitative-qualitative boundary and identify different ways of increasing communication between researchers specializing in different methods. Explicating diversity within qualitative research is facilitated, initially, through documenting the range of qualitative data collection and analytic methods available. We then consider the notion of paradigmatic frame and review debates on the current and future positioning of qualitative research within psychological science. In so doing, we argue that the different ways in which the concept of paradigm can be interpreted allows us to challenge the idea that diverse research paradigms are prima facie incommensurate. Further, reviewing the ways in which proponents of qualitative research are seeking to reconfigure the links between paradigms helps us to envisage how communication between research communities can be enhanced. This critical review allows us to systematize possible configurations for research practice in psychology on a continuum of paradigm integration and to specify associated criteria for judging inter-method coherence.
