Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
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 both more established but also more held to scrutiny by a new generation of researchers, practitioners, and clinicians. This volume offers a timely exploration of developments in psycho-social research since that date and brings 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. This new volume showcases these advances in psycho-social research methods. The focus is on methodological dilemmas, innovations in method and methodology, and on experiences of conducting psycho-social research in challenging contexts.
