ABSTRACT Process research is important in the marriage and family therapy field, specifically process research with client participants. Process research is typically conducted in treatment-as-usual conditions. Clinically applicable research has been identified to narrow the gap between research and practice. In the present conceptual paper, we provide specific recommendations to beginning process researchers for collaborating with community agencies to sample therapy clients. We present practical strategies for reducing participant and researcher burden and fostering collaboration among clinicians and researchers that are specific to conducting process research in community agency settings with client participants. Finally, we discuss implications for narrowing the research practice gap.

进行以客户为中心的过程研究的实际考虑

摘要 过程研究在婚姻和家庭治疗领域很重要，特别是与客户参与者的过程研究。过程研究通常在照常处理的条件下进行。临床应用研究已被确定以缩小研究与实践之间的差距。在目前的概念论文中，我们向初级流程研究人员提供了具体建议，以便与社区机构合作对治疗客户进行抽样。我们提出了减少参与者和研究人员负担并促进临床医生和研究人员之间合作的实用策略，这些策略特定于在社区机构环境中与客户参与者进行过程研究。最后，我们讨论了缩小研究实践差距的意义。
