We conducted a qualitative content analysis on counseling dissertations ( N = 250) completed between 2017 and 2018. Identified categories included (a) paradigms, philosophies of science, and theories; (b) research methodologies; and (c) trustworthiness. The results indicated an infrequent use of paradigmatic frameworks and a distinct pattern of trustworthiness strategies.
