Further Researching Beneath the Surface

<p>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 <i>Researching Beneath the Surface</i> 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p> <p>ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS</p><p>ABOUT THE EDITORS AND CONTRIBUTORS</p><p>INTRODUCTION: Researching beneath the surface—a continuing journey</p><p>PART I: KNOWING</p><p>CHAPTER ONE</p><p>"As easy as to know . . .": on the tensions between psychoanalysis and psychosocial research</p><p>Jem Thomas</p><p>CHAPTER TWO</p><p>The researcher’s subjectivity as a research instrument: from intuition to surrender</p><p>Lita Crociani-Windland</p><p>CHAPTER THREE</p><p>Leaders and their relation to nature</p><p>Rembrandt Zegers</p><p>PART II: DOING</p><p>CHAPTER FOUR</p><p>Researching powerful people: the experience of having access to them</p><p>Louisa Diana Brunner</p><p>CHAPTER FIVE</p><p>"Every human being is an artist": from social representation to creative experiences of self</p><p>Julian Manley</p><p>CHAPTER SIX</p><p>Prospects for the Listening Post as a psycho-social methodology</p><p>Anne-Marie Cummins</p><p>PART III: EXPERIENCING</p><p>CHAPTER SEVEN</p><p>The challenges of being a mature doctoral student: the supportive role of vertical and lateral third spaces</p><p>Rose Redding Mersky</p><p>CHAPTER EIGHT</p><p>Markers and milestones: learning to navigate the psycho-social research journey</p><p>Jane Woodend</p><p>CHAPTER NINE</p><p>Finding "self" when looking for "other": intrasubjectivity in the research encounter</p><p>Nadine Riad Tchelebi</p>
