Phenomenological Psychology: Theory, Research and Method (repost)

This is a student friendly and comprehensive introduction to phenomenological theory and methods: the study of phenomena, rather than the science of being. Popular as phenomenology is in qualitative analysis, this text is unique in its inclusion of practical material, something that will enable students to effectively apply this approach to their research.
