Practice-Led Research (PLR) is an emergent methodology that may be of benefit to clinical practitioners.
Although PLR has its roots in the creative and expressive arts, I believe that it is that it is adaptable for use by scholar-practitioners such as psychotherapists, especially those whose practice and practice wisdom develops as a result of their reflection on practice.
For the past few months I have been reviewing old notes and memos that record my reflections on my clinical practice and my perceptions of some key modifications I have made to my clinical practice. This post hoc review of my practice and the changes I have initiated has helped me to discern that there is a discernible difference between Quality / Professional Improvement practices which are focused on refining a person's practice and Practice-Led Research which not only results in improvements to practice but also provides an opportunity to theorize about the practice and develop new insights.
The attached file provides the key points from an introductory lecture on the topic of Practice-Led Research.
