Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychopathology Research

Context:

  • Traditional empirical studies focus on large samples, often overlooking individual experiences.
  • Case studies traditionally offer in-depth insights into individual psychopathology.
  • There's a growing recognition of the need to integrate individual-level data into broader research.

Purpose:

  • To explore how empirical research can benefit from case study methodologies.
  • To discuss advancements in data collection and analysis for idiographic research.
  • To bridge the gap between nomothetic and idiographic approaches in psychopathology.

Summary:

  • This article reviews new data collection and analytical techniques enabling idiographic analyses.
  • It highlights how case studies, once distinct, are now informing empirical research on psychopathology.
