SHSS Faculty Receives Honorable Mention by the Anselm Strauss Committee for Qualitative Research Article
Ronald Chenail, Ph.D.
Ronald Chenail, Ph.D., professor at NSU’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS), and his co-authors of an article published in the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, have received Honorable Mention by the Anselm Strauss Committee, part of the Qualitative Family Research Network, Research and Theory Section, National Council on Family Relations.
The Strauss Award is given annually in recognition of significant work in the area of family theory, methods, and research that comes from a qualitative tradition. In addition, the committee may grant an honorable mention to an article or chapter that meets the criteria and is determined by the committee to deserve recognition.
The article, entitled, “Clients’ Relational Conceptions of Conjoint Couple and Family Therapy Quality: A Grounded Formal Therapy Theory,” was written by Chenail with Sally St. George, Ph.D., Dan Wulff, Ph.D., Maureen Duffy, Ph.D., Karen Scott Wilson, Ph.D., and Karl Tomm, M.D.
In their official notification, the Anselm Strauss Committee commended the article saying, “Qualitative metasynthesis is an innovative approach in qualitative family scholarship. Committee members noted several strengths in this article, most importantly having a strong and detailed research design. Committee members suggested that this article can be a model for others wanting to conduct their own qualitative metasyntheses.”
Chenail is the founding and current editor of the journal, The Qualitative Report (TQR). Chenail is also the director of the Graduate Certificate in Qualitative Research in the Department of Multidisciplinary Studies (DMS) at SHSS. The graduate certificate is designed to prepare academics, professional research consultants, and graduate students to understand a variety of qualitative research approaches and to conduct qualitative research studies.
