Relational-Centred Research: Qualitative research methodology for (not only) gestalt therapists
Vol.9,No.1(2015)
In this script we lay out in broad brush strokes relational-centred approach to engaging phenomenological research. Our approach represents a general orientation for any qualitative exploration and can be used in combination with other methodologies, such as narrative or grounded theory studies. We discuss four core processes – presence, embodied empathy, intersubjectivity and reflexivity. A concrete example from different research studies the two of us have engaged is offered to illustrate each.
