A New Pluralistic Paradigm for Research: Diverse Methods for Researching Analytic and Other Groups is a comprehensive resource that equips a diverse audience with essential research knowledge. Fourteen informative chapters, organized into two sections, describe a new paradigm, as well as methodologies to research group analytic psychotherapy, different types of groups, and social phenomena. In addition to making group analytic thinking accessible and offering a practical guide, the Emerging Reality Paradigm promotes the decolonization of research practices, offering an alternative to traditional Western research paradigms. While the focus is on pluralism, readers will also gain valuable insight into both quantitative and qualitative research paradigms. Western and Indigenous thinking is bridged, illustrative examples are interwoven, and real research examples are included, enabling professionals and students to research analytic groups creatively and effectively. Engaging text boxes and figures, suggestions for further research and suggested readings foster deeper understanding. This book is ideal for researchers, psychotherapists, students, supervisors, trainees, and seminar leaders who seek to gain or deepen their knowledge of group analytic research. It serves as an essential guide for anyone interested in (analytic) groups and the methodologies that inform them.
