Abstract

Qualitative researchers could benefit from viewing their work as both science and art. In addition to the scientific collection and analysis of data, qualitative researchers are called upon to tell the stories of their participants and this involves creativity. The following article offers some personal reflections and suggestions based on a qualitative investigation that explored nine sexual violence counselors' views of clinical supervision. In explaining the thought processes behind this project, other researchers may be able to use these reflections as a point of departure for their own qualitative journeys.
Keywords: Narratives; qualitative research; sexual violence counseling; stories; supervision
