Phenomenology for Therapists

Phenomenology has become increasingly popular with therapists seeking to build on the humanistic values that often underpin their work. This book provides an accessible exploration of phenomenology in practice and is geared explicitly to the needs of therapists. It is a practical guide that offers an overview of the theory and guidance on how to do research. Philosophical phenomenological concepts and methods are explained with an emphasis on how they can be applied at different stages of the research process and to topics relevant to therapy practice.

With practical examples throughout, the book allows therapists and allied health professionals to carry out meaningful research, enabling them to find answers to questions raised in their practice.
