Abstract
This chapter focuses on the methodological positions that can be utilised for research in the area of mental distress that focus on language and its role. As research in the area of mental distress is central to informing evidence-based practice, it is useful to consider the most appropriate ways of exploring this topic. In the chapter, the core language-based methodologies, such as the different types of discourse analysis and conversation analysis, are outlined, with examples of their usage in the field of mental health. By using such methodological approaches for research and acknowledging within those practices the central role that language plays, an important qualitative evidence stream can be generated to inform a range of different areas related to mental distress.
