• Research summary

  The title of the research project is: “Constructing preferred future and resource conversations through solution-focused discourses with people with long-term physical health conditions.“ The primary research question is: how do people with long-term physical health conditions construct preferred futures and resources with their practitioners in an initial solution-focused therapy session? 8-12 participant dyads will be recruited from the Department of Clinical Health Psychology in Southport & Ormskirk NHS Trust. All service-users (SU) who have a long-term condition (LTC) and are receiving solution-focused approaches will be invited to participate. With consent from the SUs, therapeutic sessions between SUs and the therapist will be audio recorded as data. The practitioners will also be participants, forming a dyad with SUs. The study, including the write-up, will aim to finish in May 2017. This study will be analysed using a Discursive Action Model informed method.
