Resumo

This article describes the experience of a qualitative researcher grappling with the tensions between traditional positivist research and 'new paradigm research.' Personal experiences, critiques, and theory are woven together to create a holistic and contextualized account of working in new paradigm research modalities within the field of psychology. The author proposes that what is needed is an expanded discourse of what constitutes discipline within the context of interpretive research. Once discourse can be expanded and understood, new ground (or frontiers) can continue to be cultivated. Psychological research has much to gain from understanding what is required to engage in disciplined interpretive research. The parallels between interpretive research and clinical practice are highlighted.
