Comparators	Distinction of outcomes according to roles of participants, success/failure of psychotherapy, and qualitatively distinct segments/excerpts within psychotherapy, when applicable
Outcomes	Psychotherapy outcomes (e.g., wellbeing, changes in narrative identity, transformation of subjectivity) can be investigated using the qualitative methods employed in the studies
Study design	Studies with qualitative or mixed-methods designs, including grounded theory, thematic analysis, dialogical analysis, phenomenological approaches, narrative perspectives, and constructivist and socio-constructivist perspectives
