Steps to 're-enliven'
Reflections on Amos, I. (2016). Interpretative phenomenological analysis and embodied interpretation integrating methods to find the ‘words that work’. Counselling and Psychotherapy Research, 16(4): 307-317 by PHaR members Kisane Prutton and Will Day.
The significance
of the body in phenomenological philosophy is well explored, yet what do we
know about how the body is actually employed? How is the body used as a formal
device, within phenomenological research?
Amos’s
article caught our interest: offering to illuminate how researchers might engage
their body systematically within IPA. Whilst at risk of oversimplifying what
Amos is proposing in her article, the suggestion seems to be that IPA can be
adapted by, in essence, topping and tailing the ‘IPA steps’ with a pre and post
phase of focussed reflection. In these stages of reflection, the analyst is to
tune into their body and reflect on how their body is responding before and
after exposure to the participants’ experiences. Subsequent writing, particularly
around theme names, should be refined with the aim of ‘re-enlivening’ the phenomenon.
As many of us
present in the discussion were early careers researchers, we could see how newcomers
to a particular research method, would be attracted to the offer of a staged
approach, as a means to reduce the fear of the unknown and the fear of 'getting
it wrong'. Amongst the PHaR members, this was likened to the work of Sally Goldspink
and Hilary Engward, whose use of reflexivity was similarly articulated in as an
‘addition to stepwise’ type fashion. However, it wasn’t long before the
counterarguments to a stepwise approach were surfaced. Our conclusion was that
the risks of an overly mechanistic method were high and that we would wish to work
in more fluid, and integrative fashion in order to retain the aesthetics of
phenomenological practice.
Our discussion diversified and opened up to a
number of related, but separate points:
- How theme titles need to express not just the content, but the quality of the experience being captured
- How language is limited; this was explored by Sartre who noted that as soon as you put a name to a bodily experience, it seems to lose its meaning
- Connected to this point, we also thought of ‘early stage’ Wittgenstein (i.e. "what we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence”) and how difficult it is to articulate some pre-reflective bodily sensations (e.g. the feeling of parental intuition), particularly when having to translate these inadequate verbalisations into writing.
- Phenomenological researchers working in an embodied way need to consider self-care and protect themselves from absorbing the emotional experiences of their participants
To conclude, we found Amos’s article initially
highly promising, but as it progressed we felt it didn’t quite deliver the
sensitivity that we would want from a phenomenological practice involving the
body. We would recommend Eatough and Shaw’s paper “It’s like having an evil twin”: an interpretative
phenomenological analysis of the lifeworld of a person with Parkinson’s
disease’ (2019) as an emotive example of embodied language.

DeleteThank you Thank You Very much Doctor Otonokpo for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am Cordelia Sandra from Brazil and i am putting this testimony here too because i want to share my testimony of how i was helped by Doctor Otonokpo within 48 hours of contacting him. Yes, it was last week my ex boyfriend returned to me after i contacted Doctor Otonokpo. My boyfriend was always going back to meet his ex girlfriend because he never really left her. Her name was Sophie. I didn't know how it happened one day after breakfast that i saw him looking at his ex girlfriend's picture on Facebook and I flared at him that he doesn't care about him and he was with me and still thinking about his ex although we have been dating for 6 months. He stormed at me and left the house and never returned. I was heartbroken and wanted him to come back. I was in a nightclub with friend one evening that I saw him with Sophie there, I was humiliated that night and I regretted going there only to see him there. I went online after some days and found Doctor Otonokpo and read about him and I contacted him to help me get him back. I must say that within 48 hours, my boyfriend came back to me and pleaded for leaving me. Is this how spell works so fast? Please, if you want help, contact Doctor Otonokpo too to help you at otonokpotemple@gmail.com
