Abstract

This article provides a Commentary on a paper by Warner and Spandler (2012. The Spandler and Warner paper draws on the ‘triangle of communication’ to develop the FIND framework for research and to promote and support new ways of gathering evidence for the development of strategies of evaluation, intervention and treatment in clinical psychology. This article discusses this in terms of the pluralism in qualitative research (PQR)approach to show the benefits and limitations of flexible, high quality research approaches to service development.
