tailieunhanh - Phenomenology for Therapists

Therapists (allied health professionals and psychotherapists alike) are increasingly called upon to do research. Many are drawn to phenomenology; its holistic appreciation of everyday human experience resonates for them. Yet, as novice researcher-practitioners engage the field they are frequently brought up short, baffled by the language and sheer depth of ideas in this strange new world. Soon the novice is faced with bewildering version of phenomenology should they employ? Descriptive or hermeneutic? Idiographic or normative? Realist or relativist? When I engaged my own PhD, I was similarly bamboozled. Just what was phenomenology? And more urgently, how was I supposed to use it for my research?. | Phenomenology for Therapists Phenomenology for Therapists Researching the Lived World By Linda Finlay WILEY-BLACKWELL A John Wiley Sons Ltd.
