“…The empirical phenomenological approach was the subject of many of the methodological articles reviewed. Topics of discussion included: the researcher's use of the subjects' accounts to help define the experience under consideration (e.g., Giorgi, 1983); the importance of articulating or questioning the researcher's initial assumptions, and the question of the extent to which suspension of these is possible (e.g., Keen, 1975, p. 148; Collaizi, 1978a; Fouche, 1984); the use of free imaginative variation (e.g., Aanstoos, 1983; Wertz, 1983) the need for mutual respect and cooperation between the researcher and the volunteer (Kvale, 1983); the possible value of particular instructions, or contexts such as experimental settings, for eliciting descriptions (e.g., Barrell & Barrell, 1975; Giorgi, 1971; Aanstoos, 1983); the value of written versus oral accounts of experiences (van Kaam, 1958; Giorgi, 1975; Sardello, 1971a), the extent to which the volunteer ought to be invited to interpret his or her own experience (Sardello, 1971a; Giorgi, 1989a; Kvale, 1983), and the role of validation (Shapiro, 1986; Wertz, 1986; Sardello, 1971a).…”

“…The hermeneutic movement in phenomenological psychology has resulted in a tension over final authority in determining the meaning of the subject's experience. This tension manifests itself in extensive discussion over how differences between the interpretation by the subject and by the researcher are to be resolved (e.g., Sardello, 1971a; Giorgi, 1983; Kvale, 1983; Aanstoos, 1983).…”

The methodologies of Husserlian and contemporary phenomenological psychology are compared. The Husscrlian project was an a priori, descriptive, intuitive inquiiy into the universal, necessary structures of intentional phenomena. Contemporary phenomenological psychology, examined here through a review of contemporary psychological articles and methodological sources, includes four types of methods: empirical, hermencutic, traditional and experimental. Phenomenological psychology continues to attempt to describe the essences of experiences. However, in contrast to the Husserlian phase, the current stage of the movement is characterized by the inclusion of the experience of a group of subjects in addition to that of the researcher, the use of hermeneulic rather than descriptive methods, existentialism as an interpretive guide, and the use of empirical as well as a priori evidence for the gcneralizability of descriptions. Kssentialism as a central tenet of phenomenological psychology is criticized in light of anthropological evidence.

“…Robert Sardello (1971), in a paper on research in phenomenological psychology, wrote, "The most primordial meaning of objectivity is an attitude of respectful openness to the whole of our existence, which allows, through our involvement in the world, reality to reveal itself the way it is" (p. 64). This faith in the importance and usefulness of seeing the facts of the world realistically was certainly endorsed by Berne.…”

Engaged Research: Encountering a Transactional Analysis Training Group through Bion's Concept of Containing

The author describes his experience of observing a transactional analysis training group focused on work with highly challenging clients. This encounter precipitated his inquiry into the nature and effect of researching. Drawing on Bion's psychoanalytic concept of “containing”–with its aspects of receiving, thinking, and interpreting–the author hypothesizes how an engaged approach to research into human functioning might actually be therapeutic or growth-enhancing for the individual or group being studied. Such engagement requires the researcher's ability to structure experiences both bodily and mentally on the path to understanding and affecting human capacities.

“…This strategy can actually be used in conjunction with any kind of investigative or experimental procedure. Sardello (1971), for example, recommended obtaining transcripts of the entire encounter with the subject. Not only is the transcript then used by the experimenter to discern the meaning of the experience for the subject, but the transcript is also reviewed collaboratively with the subject to determine if the explicated meaning of the phenomenon can also be seen by the subject.…”
