Reviews

‘…Farrell brings his skill and imagination to bear on proposals for making London a better city for humans.' (Property Week, July 2010).


The many current research examples provide a useful and easy-to-read description of what is possible in phenomenological research. This book is a wonderful addition to qualitative methodology texts and I would recommend it as a standard text for anyone considering counselling/ psychotherapy research. (Therapy Today, 1 December 2011)


Phenomenology -- when it is done well --discloses, transforms and inspires. That is why it excites me, why I am passionate about it ... Fortunately, this does not need to stand in the way of readers making use of this otherwise excellent book in their own way and for their own practice-relevant research needs. (Counselling Psychology Review, 2 June 2012) The many current research examples provide a useful and easy-to-read description of what is possible in phenomenological research. This book is a wonderful addition to qualitative methodology texts and I would recommend it as a standard text for anyone considering counselling/ psychotherapy research.
