“…In summary, the methodology draws on the core principles of Participatory Action Research, based on data collection, reflection and action [40]; clinical practitioners are involved in the research process from the initial design of the project, through data gathering and analysis, to final conclusions and actions arising out of the research [41]. The methodology was implemented over the course of three one-day workshops with Outcome Star experts, clinical practitioners and service users.…”

BackgroundAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is prevalent in adulthood, resulting in serious impairment across multiple domains of living. Despite clinical guidance recommendations, the relative infancy of research on service provision for adults with ADHD, along with the evidence transfer gap, means that there is a lack of specific frameworks for service delivery. Igniting research and developing service delivery frameworks within adult ADHD is an essential step in the provision of effective services for adults with ADHD.MethodFollowing the methodology used in previous related research that utilises a Participatory Action Research approach, we gathered data from clinicians and service users on the domains of living in which they wish to create change, and the steps and end point of the change process. This data was utilised, alongside data gathered from previous research and policies, to develop the domains of assessment for the ADHD Star, and the scale on which change is assessed.ResultsThe resulting tool, the ADHD Star, consists of eight domains: understanding your ADHD, focus and attention, organising yourself, friends and social life, thinking and reacting, physical health, how you feel and meaningful use of time. Each domain is rated on a five-point scale, the ‘ladder of change’, ranging from ‘stuck’ to ‘choice’.ConclusionsThe ADHD Star offers a guiding framework for the development of care pathways and subsequent service provision for adults with ADHD, based on multi-disciplinary, holistic and person-centred care.

“…As such, a transpersonal, existential, and phenomenological approach was used to elucidate participant's unspoken insights during their experiences via the assembly of themes from interview transcripts. In this way, the researchers created a Blife text^(i.e., written text and language) that is interpreted by the reader in order to understand the recreated meaning of the lived phenomenon (Chessick 1990;Van Hesteren 1986;Von Eckartsberg 1998;Palmer 1969).…”

Awakening into non-duality entails a focus on self-transcendence and movement through different levels of consciousness. Coming to abide in non-dual being involves the end of seeking; an embracement and radical acceptance of nondivision, or not-two, in each moment; and the cultivation of the understanding of ourselves as consciousness itself. Accepting the availability of life as what is, no matter how it manifests, brings one into greater cooperation with the flow of life as we embrace our undivided, natural state of being. Letting go and coming to abide in this state is not without its challenges, as one experiences realizations and insights that can feel like the destruction of one's entire world and previous understandings. Awakening must occur on the levels of the mind (mental), heart (emotional), and guts (existential), each with their own host of effects, crises, and stumbling blocks. This article focuses on the themes that manifested during the second part of the journeys of novices as they came home to abide in non-dual being and included: Awakening moments and encounters with the abyss; coming to the end of seeking and realizing that there is nothing to do and nowhere to go; learning to live in and trust this one beautiful, yet ordinary moment; experiencing no mind, no self, and no knowing; experiencing expansion, connection, and love by awakening the heart; re-experiencing and residing in one's own essence, energy, and authenticity; and coming to rest in underlying peace, freedom, and wholeness. These themes are explored in the context of awakening the various levels of consciousness and transcending the final stages of psyche development. The integral role and implications of the non-dual perspective in accelerating and promoting holistic healing in psychotherapy are discussed.

“…More specifically, phenomenological researchers move from unspoken living explication to larger accounts of what was experienced. In doing so, the researchers create a life text that makes a phenomena available through language and results in a written text that is to be interpreted by the reader (Palmer 1969;von Eckartsberg 1998).…”

While mainstream psychiatry tends to view psychosis as an enduring and chronic condition, there is growing interest in the possibility of recovery from psychosis. A phenomenological research method was utilized in interviewing 17 individuals who all selfidentified as being in recovery from psychosis. The research question was, "What was the lived experience of having a psychosis episode and now being in recovery?" Through thematic analysis, the authors found four major themes and seven subthemes that described the experience of recovery from psychosis. The four major themes included: (i) prepsychosis childhood traumatic experiences, (ii) the descent into psychosis, (iii) paths to recovery, and (iv) post-recovery challenges. These findings suggest both some potential pathways and barriers toward recovery and transformation from psychosis.
