Immigrants’ Experiences on Integration While Attempting to Access the Labour Market
(1) Background: The challenge of immigrants and their integration into adopted countries is a key topic for the global field of social work. However, there is a paucity of research on immigrants’ lived experiences in gaining access to the labour market. Thus, this study examines how immigrants in Norway experience integration while in the process of gaining access to the labour market. The prevalent notion of integration achieved through gainful …
Covid-19 took my breath away
An auto-phenomenological narrative, grappling explicitly with existential lifeworldly dimensions, is offered, where I tell the story of succumbing to the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) My bodily experience involved feeling invaded, attacked by an unseen-but vividly imagined-presence Although my condition was a so-called mild version, my radically transformed world forced me to question the taken-for-granted relationship between my Self, my b…
Exploring experience through ‘reflexive dialogue’
This paper critically examines the use of ‘reflexive dialogue’ method employed during research into the process of resistance in psychotherapy practice. Recognising how the phenomenon of resistance is contested across therapy fields, our research aim was to understand how we, as humanistically-informed psychotherapists, tend to view and handle it in practice. In our exploration, we embraced an orientation that was relational-centered and reflexiv…
“Nourishing communion”
This study, the third in a series of three, draws on a broader Norwegian research project exploring the phenomenon of support for young persons with mental health issues. The aim was to explore and explicate the sense of “nourishing communion”, as a somewhat neglected aspect of support. Fourteen Norwegian young adults, aged 18-25, were interviewed about their experiences of support. Data was analyzed using van Manen’s hermeneutic-phenomenological…
Championing “reflexivities”
Sensing and making sense
The focus of this article is the use of metaphor in psychotherapy. I start with a selective review of the relevant psychotherapeutic literature. In practice, metaphors are used to represent metaphorical images that can clarify or interpret experience; metaphorical stories can be used playfully to elaborate understandings and provide new healing narratives. Next I introduce my embodied relational-centered way of being in my psychotherapy practice,…
Engaging Phenomenological Analysis
Phenomenologists seeking to explicate "lived experience" need above all to do justice to the phenomenon under study; research methods need to be responsive to the phenomenon, towards capturing something of its "is-ness." This article aims to clarify some processes involved in doing phenomenological analysis, whatever the variant of phenomenology. A phenomenological sensibility is suggested rather than offering cookbook guidelines. Four key proces…
Journeying into qualitative research worlds
Unfolding the Phenomenological Research Process
Phenomenological researchers generally agree that our central concern is to return to embodied, experiential meanings aiming for fresh, complex, rich description of phenomena as concretely lived. Yet when it comes to deciding how best to carry out this research in practice debates abound. Some approaches to phenomenology emphasize description; others interpretive layers. Some insist on a rigorous, scientific method; others seek more poetic, artis…
Phenomenology for Therapists
Debating Phenomenological Research Methods
Phenomenological researchers generally agree that our central concern is to return to embodied, experiential meanings aiming for a fresh, complex, rich description of a phenomenon as it is concretely lived. Yet debates abound when it comes to deciding how best to carry out this phenomenological research in practice. Confusion about how to conduct appropriate phenomenological research makes our field difficult for novices to access. Six particular…
Reflexively probing relational ethical challenges
‘Relational ethics requires researchers to act from our hearts and minds, to acknowledge our interpersonal bonds to others, and initiate and maintain conversations’ (Ellis, 2007, p.4)
A Dance Between the Reduction and Reflexivity
This article explores the nature of "the phenomenological attitude," which is understood as the process of retaining a wonder and openness to the world while reflexively restraining pre-understandings, as it applies to psychological research. A brief history identifies key philosphical ideas outlining Husserl's formulation of the reductions and subsequent existential-hermeneutic elaborations, and how these have been applied in empirical psycholog…
Reflexivity
Can't Really Trust That, So What Can I Trust?”
This paper describes an experiment in carrying out, as a group, a phenomenological analysis of a qualitative interview on the topic of mistrust. One in-depth interview was analyzed phenomenologically by each of the six members of our group. We then shared and discussed our individual analyses to generate a consensual analysis. Finally, additional or divergent perspectives were offered by individual group members to add further contextual and refl…
The body's disclosure in phenomenological research
Phenomenologists would agree that the body discloses the world just as the world discloses itself through the body. Yet, in much phenomenological research, the focus is on words from transcripts and protocols – the body is strangely absent. In this article, I argue for the importance of researchers attending reflexively to the bodies of both participant and researcher. I advocate attending to the body and embodiment through at least three distinc…
"Reflexive embodied empathy"
In this article, I advocate a research process that involves engaging, reflexively, with the embodied intersubjective relationship researchers have with participants. I call this practice reflexive embodied empathy. First, I explicate the concept of empathy through exploring ideas from the philosophical phenomenological literature. I then apply this theory to practice and offer examples of reflexive analysis of embodied empathy taken from various…
"Outing" the Researcher
To increase the integrity and trustworthiness of qualitative research, researchers need to evaluate how intersubjective elements influence data collection and analysis. Reflexivity- where researchers engage in explicit, self-aware analysis of their own role-offers one tool for such evaluation. The process of engaging in reflexive analysis, however, is difficult, and its subjective, ambiguous nature is contested. In the face of challenges, researc…
Negotiating the swamp
How should researchers reflexively evaluate ways in which intersubjective elements transform their research? The process of engaging in reflexivity is full of muddy ambiguity and multiple trails as researchers negotiate the swamp of interminable deconstructions, self analysis and self disclosure. This article examines how researcher-explorers from a range of research traditions have negotiated this swamp in practice, by drawing on examples of the…
