In this novel approach, the researcher's feelings and empathy in relation to participants take centre stage, leading to fresh, exciting and usable research findings. The psychoanalytic concept of reverie refers to those startling and unexpected images, feelings and daydreams which can come to mind as we interact with other people in the world. Qualitative research involves interacting with human subjects, and the book shows how uncanny or troubling reverie experiences can be turned to good use by being linked back to deeper research questions and hypotheses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoshua Holmes critically explores the role of self-reflection (reflexivity) in psychoanalysis and qualitative research.

Examples are given throughout, including the author's own missteps along the way, in which he shares the importance of learning from experience. The book breathes life into research processes offering much-needed clinical relevance. The method moves away from one-size-fits all, formulaic research procedures and brings tenor, colour and texture into the research process, to create vivid, real-life meaningful findings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Practical Psychoanalytic Guide to Reflexive Research \u003c\/i\u003ewill be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate qualitative researchers wishing to enhance their reflexive practice, while psychotherapists and psychoanalysts will find a genuinely psychoanalytic research method, where their clinical skills become vital capacities rather than an awkward hindrance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Holmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138607045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138607040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Joshua Holmes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112767369471,"sku":"9781138607040","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d5da482-89a5-4280-b6ec-a157799701fd.jpg?v=1769610791","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-practical-psychoanalytic-guide-to-joshua-holmes-9781138607040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
