Summary:

Discrepant results are the most common results of mental health research, and may even occur multiple times in a single study. But what do discrepant results mean? How are researchers to make sense of them? Do they tell us something important about mental health, and if they do, how would we know? 'Discrepant Results in Mental Health Research' challenges all that we think we know about mental health.
