This book is the result of over two decades of teaching research in psychological therapies. The links below offer resources that can be used for teaching and doing research. The resources can be shared but only with the correct reference: Vos, J. (2023). Doing research in psychological therapies: a step-by-step guide. Sage. For reprint, contact the author.

This is a very basic plan for teaching research to students in a professional doctorate in psychological therapies (e.g. Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, accredited by the British Psychological Society and the UKCP).

If you would like a more advanced teaching plan and/or advice/consultancy about designing a research teaching programme, please contact the author of Doing Research in Psychological Therapies, Dr Joel Vos: joel.vos@metanoia.ac.uk or psychvos@yahoo.com
