Phenomenology for Therapists by Linda Finlay
Phenomenology has become increasingly popular with therapists seeking to build on the humanistic values that often underpin their work. Phenomenology for Therapists provides an accessible exploration of phenomenology in practice and is geared to the needs of therapists.
“As a dominantly clinical practitioner who nonetheless retains an active interest in research, and particularly phenomenological research, I found this book both useful and informative” (The Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology, 1 May 2013)
“Phenomenology – when it is done well –discloses, transforms and inspires. That is why it excites me, why I am passionate about it . . . Fortunately, this does not need to stand in the way of readers making use of this otherwise excellent book in their own way and for their own practice-relevant research needs.” (Counselling Psychology Review, 2 June 2012)
"The many current research examples provide a useful and easy-to-read description of what is possible in phenomenological research. This book is a wonderful addition to qualitative methodology texts and I would recommend it as a standard text for anyone considering counselling/ psychotherapy research." (Therapy Today, 1 December 2011)
