Abstract
A university-based team's experiences with Reflecting Teams are reviewed using a case study and several ethnographies. Members' concern with and disagreement about contextually sensitive practice is presented as the stimulus that resulted in a clinical research endeavor that resulted in practice guidelines for Reflecting Teams. The contributions of qualitative research, especially ethnographies, in improving practice are highlighted. The implications of the team's experiences for family therapists conducting clinical research are noted. The paper ends with a discussion of unresolved issues in contextually sensitive practice, clinical research, and the importance of incremental knowledge-building efforts.
