Hi Priscilla and List members
I wonder if you will be aware of the work of Robert D Romanyshyn? Particularly his book : 'The Wounded Researcher: Research with Soul in Mind.’
I have found his approach very interesting and useful. I attended a presentation he gave earlier this year when he spoke very compellingly to explain how he believes that the "unconscious is real” and therefore is everywhere and in all human activity. Including research. Which I found very thought provoking.
It’s very interesting to consider how life experiences may bring each of us to to particular research topics. Awareness of unconscious motivations and ‘wounds’, allows researchers to take their own unconscious processes seriously and to be more attune to possible shortcomings and opportunities of their findings.
