Contributions in this volume cover ways of knowing,
the dynamics of research encounters, new methods of psycho-social inquiry, and
the first-hand experience of being a researcher. Since the first volume
of Researching Beneath the Surface was published by Karnac in
2009, psycho-social research has become more established but is also more
scrutinised by a new generation of researchers, practitioners, and clinicians.
This volume offers a timely exploration of the latest developments in psycho-social
research, bringing together a series of papers in which both longstanding
contributors to the field and new researchers explore tensions, possibilities,
and innovations in psycho-socially inspired research.
Showcasing advances in psycho-social research
methods, the book focuses on methodological dilemmas, innovations in method and
methodology, and on experiences of conducting psycho-social research in
challenging contexts. It also focusses on the contested but pivotal role of
psychoanalysis in psycho-social research and explores what can be added by
transdisciplinary use of deep ecology, continental philosophy, and relational
approaches as alternative or supplementary ways of knowing.
Further Researching Beneath the Surface:
Psycho-social Research Methods in Practice offers fresh insight into the practical and emotional
issues of conducting oneself as a psycho-social researcher and learning from
experience. It will be of great interest to psycho-social, qualitative,
organisational, and psychoanalytically-oriented researchers, as well as
postgraduate students in these fields. (amazon)
