This short paper is an aperitif that touches on the main issues involved in research methodology for the psychiatric trainee but which understandably cannot explore any of them in depth. It accompanies publication of a book published simultaneously by the College (Freeman & Tyrer, 1989), the orientation of which has been affected greatly by experience gathered during a series of courses in research methodology organised under the auspices of the Research Committee. These courses have demonstrated the need for a basic text on research methodology that is sensitive to the aims and resources available to trainees and also a guide that helps to avoid the pitfalls in research that often are discovered too late to be overcome.
