What are some of the limitations of using clinical research as a data collection method?
What will be an ideal response?
Clinical research has several disadvantages. First, clinical research and case studies are usually time consuming and expensive. Second, clinicians typically see only people with severe problems or those who are willing and financially able to seek help. Therefore, the results aren't representative of average or even of troubled families. Third, clinical studies are subjective. Some critics contend that subjective clinical opinions are often contrary to empirical evidence.
