Abstract
Participatory Action Research on and with experiential expertise
Some of the principles of participatory action research raise questions and concerns when conducting PAR. In this article we reflect on three of these principles: cyclical change and learning, co-ownership of the research and generalizability of results. Our own PAR research on the introduction of experiential expertise in mental health practice forms the case for the reflections. We conclude that PAR asks for flexibility, good observation skills for things that arise and courage to use ways other than the usual ways to analyze or present results.
