Qualitative studies using in-depth interviews with older people from multiple language groups: methodological systematic review.

Aim: This paper is a report of a methodological review of language appropriate practice in qualitative research, when language groups were not determined prior to participant recruitment.

The negotiation of the problem statement in cognitive behavioural therapy.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy which is characterized by being highly structured, outcomes focused and time limited. The literature concerning CBT is extensive but it has primarily focused on the outcomes of therapy with limited qualitative studies investigating the process of CBT. In this present study we investigate how the CBT model is implemented in therapeutic interaction through a focus on the conversion of the client's problem into CBT terms and its ultimate articulation as the problem statement.
