N2 - This essay explores a question crucial to the role of qualitative researchers: Is there therapeutic value in the research interview process? I use interviewees' responses to participating in in-depth interviews, along with a discussion of theoretical and empirical research, to build and evidence an argument that the qualitative research interview (QRI) process can be therapeutic and should be acknowledged as such. Challenges to researchers and ideas for strengthening the value of QRIs are discussed.
