Abstract: Beginning with calls for methodological diversity in counseling psychology, this article addresses the history and current state of qualitative research in counseling psychology. It identifies the historical and disciplinary origins as well as basic assumptions and underpinnings of qualitative research in general, as well as within counseling psychology. It identifies the foundational elements of qualitative research, including its purposes and goals, paradigmatic bases, and underlying characteristics. Finally, it locates qualitative research in counseling psychology in the research genre and explores the promise that this form of research holds for counseling and psychotherapy research as well as counseling psychology's multicultural and social justice agenda.

TL;DR: This paper gathered and reviewed responses to the question of how many interviews is enough from 14 renowned social scientists and 5 early career researchers, concluding that it depends on epistemological, methodological and practical issues to take into account when conducting research projects.
Abstract: Students conducting a piece of qualitative research frequently ask ‘how many interviews is enough?’ Early
career researchers and established academics also consider this question when designing research projects.
In this NCRM Methods Review paper we gather and review responses to the question of ‘how many’ from 14
renowned social scientists and 5 early career researchers. The riposte to the question of ‘how many’ from
most contributors is ‘it depends’. In considering what ‘it depends upon’ however, the responses offer
guidance on the epistemological, methodological and practical issues to take into account when conducting
research projects. This includes advice about assessing research aims and objectives, validity within
epistemic communities and available time and resources.
