P1: OTA/XYZ P2: ABC JWST067-FMpre JWST067-Finlay April 7, 2011 5:25 Printer Name: Yet to Come Preface A personal reflection: As I sit down to write this book, hesitation takes hold of me. It’s as if afog hasdescended, a wary presence whispering words of caution. Itake a moment to dwell with thesensation – I feel warned off. In allprobability it springs from my own experience of negotiating the muddy mire of phenomenological theory, of knowing there is not one phenomenology but many Iwantto navigate a simple path that will guide my readers sure-footedly through this shifting, boggy landscape with its myriad contested ideas and experiences. My shame-voice asks, ‘Am I up to the task?’ All too easily your own hesitancy and reluctance are summoned: why, after all, should you follow? Then I remember the unexpected and perplexing delights that lie ahead, the strange and irresistible beauty of the phenomenological universe. I want so much to share them with you. The mist of hesitancy lifts a little Therapists (allied health professionals and psychotherapists alike) are in- creasingly 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 choices. What version of phenomenology should they employ? Descriptive or hermeneu- tic? Idiographic or normative? Realist or relativist? When I engaged my own PhD, Iwas similarly bamboozled. Just what was phenomenology? And more urgently, how was I supposed to use it for my research? P1: OTA/XYZ P2: ABC JWST067-FMpre JWST067-Finlay April 7, 2011 5:25 Printer Name: Yet to Come x Preface Phenomenology studies taken-for-granted, everyday examples of the lived world, making explicit the meanings we attach to our human expe- rience.Inthisbook–Phenomenology for Therapists – Ihavetriedtoshow how phenomenology approaches this study and to map the territory (the names, ideas and methods). Rather than being a ‘how to’ book, I offer a glimpse of the extraordinarily rich and varied terrain of phenomenology, aiming to help budding researchers find their preferred path. Rather than honing in on one particular approach or methodology to the exclusion others, I want to honour the wealth of choices to access and evoke lived experience. I give pointers and examples of how to handle data collection and analysis but I do not spell out the mechanics of the process. I want to show, as Merleau-Ponty expresses it, that phenomenology is ‘a problem to be solved and a hope to be realized’ (1945/1962, p. viii). In my writing I have drawn heavily on many practical examples of phe- nomenological research – attempting to show phenomenology in action rather than just talking about it. I invite you to dwell with these examples and feel the register, style and sheer poetry of what is possible. At the end of each chapter I offer some personal reflections where I invite you to ‘dialogue’ with me about the issues and debates at stake. I belong to three professional communities: occupational therapy, psy- chology and psychotherapy, but it is in the world of phenomenology that I feel at ‘home’. Here I am able to bring my professional identities together, for example, through my research on the life world of the therapist and on the lived experience of disability. And so it is that the process of writing this book has been an integrative and healing project for me. The exercise of explicating phenomenology as a whole has also helped me better un- derstand, and to feel easier about, the apparently divergent voices which have risked sundering the phenomenological world. Phenomenology is not either–or. It is not either ‘descriptive’ or ‘interpretive’; it is both. It enjoys both structure and texture. It is concerned with individuals’ experience and with more general phenomenon. Many people have helped with the evolution of this book. I want first to acknowledge my husband Mel Wilder whose loyal encouragement and judicious editing has helped me to find my ‘voice’. Extra special thanks needs to go to David Seamon, Les Todres, Ken Evans and Steen Halling who have so generously given me their time and support, and whose work so inspires. I also would not have been able to write this book without the nourishing conversations over many years with my friends and colleagues in the human science community, particularly: Chris Aanstoos, Rosemary Anderson, Peter Ashworth, Scott Churchill, Karin Dahlberg, Virge Eatough, Kate Galvin, Andy Giorgi, Kevin Krycka, George Kunz, Darren Langdridge, IljaMaso,BepMook,JimMorley,EvaSimms,JonathanSmith,FredWertz, Peter Willis and Aki Yoshida. The misunderstandings, omissions and all P1: OTA/XYZ P2: ABC JWST067-FMpre JWST067-Finlay April 7, 2011 5:25 Printer Name: Yet to Come Preface xi inelegancy within the book are, of course, mine alone. Finally, my thanks needs to be extended to Sue Ram for her invaluable editing and to Andrew Peart (commissioning editor), Karen Shield (project editor), Suchitra Srinivasan (production editor) and the rest of the publishing team for seeing the manuscript through to publication.
