Phenomenology is considering the experiences of individuals to disclose what is inside of them. It has transitioned from a descriptive phenomenology which focuses on the purpose of description of an individual and their experiences to the interpretation of what gave them these experiences. Research has been conducted to find ways of gaining knowledge pertaining to understanding an individual and how they are discovered. Knowledge regarding phenomenology is laid out by researchers. The primary purpose of this research is to aid in discovering acceptable knowledge over opinion detailing additional information from researchers.
Every researcher requires reliable methods to build the sources containing to create the data for research. Phenomenological

Either way, Husserl's phenomenological methods continue to be the primary methods in order to study human beings and their consciousness and their experience. Husserl focused primary on their thoughts, imagination and called this their awareness. Based on other general facts it has been shown that the descriptive approach is focusing on the human beings only and not on their experiences in which gives the individual the phenomenological research needed to gain a clear concept of the individual their selves such as understanding the person, and their life experiences (Converse, 2012). Interpretive phenomenology is focused on questions that are being asked for the actual purpose of the phenomenonology and the researcher does not place their sense of opinion into the research no matter what they are studying. Descriptive phenomenology is focused on what the research would like to describe under their study and just as in interpretive phenomenology it is not based on the sense of the researcher’s opinion no matter what they are studying either. No matter what is being researched biases cannot warrant any imperative information in the given research. Example a teacher cannot have a bias against a student in their class based on the teacher experience with a student. The teacher must remain neutral no matter the given situation. It is imperative in studying phenomenology and the research to remain neutral so researchers can engage in proper guided
Husserl points out that critiquing some present body of knowledge, a scientific or prescientific ‘Weltaschauung’ is not sufficient to provide us with the answers on this philosophical quest. We can only find the answers we seek “through a critical understanding of the total unity of history – our history”. There is some spiritual connection between philosophers throughout history, and a critical analysis of their philosophies across time will light up our path as we seek to truly understand ourselves. What Husserl is asserting is that philosophy has evolved through time, with each stage revealing more than before, and we are supposed to continue down this path until “perfect insight” is eventually reached. This task is thrust upon us as present-day philosophers because we are, after all, functionaries of modern philosophical humanity; we are heirs and cobearers of the direction of the...

Genetic phenomenology is Husserl's philosophical successor to his earlier eidetic phenomenology; it represents the highest development in Husserl's project. Husserl's eidetic phenomenology holds that both the structure of intentional acts and the intentional object are given (Detmer 165). Husserl later comes to doubt the givenness in eidetic phenomenology; these structures and objects of consciousness must have developed throughout history (Detmer 166). This is the process of sedimentation: patterns of understanding and expectations gradually influence later experiences (Zahavi 94). Intentional acts themselves have eidetic structures that are not immediately given; they must be analyzed if the phenomenological project is to continue. A close

The purpose of the article is to “present a theoretical-practical reflection on the application of the Phenomenological-Existential Therapy with children and adolescents at a community based clinical setting” (Pires, 2016, p. 93). The article provides a summary of how Phenomenological-Existential Therapy can be applied in different contexts. The study consisted of a model that helped the therapist work together with the client, parents, and community. The model consisted of an eight-session therapy, including initial assessment, intervention, and follow-up. The therapy focused on the un-knowing, choice and freedom, eigenwelt, mitwelt, umwelt, uberwelt, being-in-the-world-with-others, and the four dimensions of existence. The intervention takes into consideration the child’s needs, the parent’s need, and the family’s community.
...al approach is focuses on the dynamics of individual people in small groups, taking on the microview. Phenomenologists discard the idea of a set social structure, concentrating on society's individual members and groups in an attempt to understand how they see and interpret the world in which they live by placing themselves in their environment as to try and view things from their perspective. It is virtually a polar opposite and a more complex approach than that of the positivists. They believe that ''social facts do not exist but are created and constructed in the process of social interaction.''
It is based on the relationship between the patient who is going through a period of life altering event and their environment. It explains the patients ability to transcend beyond self when facilitated by health providers such as nurses, therefore, they can expand intrapersonally, interpersonally, temporally, and transpersonally, leading to develop a new perspective and meaning of life. The theory inquires knowledge beyond qualitative data, as it requires the patient participate so their perspective and experience are being

Husserl's Phenomenology can be seen as a response to the intrusion of psychology into the essential studies of man; he felt that the study of man should, instead be conducted on a purely philosoph...
In this essay I intend to discuss two psychological theories of development; The psychodynamic approach and the behavioural approach. In order to do this, I will outline each theory and explain how it accounts for psychological development, health and behaviour of the individual. In addition to this, I will explain how an understanding of these theories relates to care and would help a care professional to support an individual in a care setting.
The theory of self-transcendence is related to well-being or healing, one of the identified foci of the discipline of nursing. This theory has been examined in research and used to guide nursing practice. This theory provides nurses a framework for inquiry and practice regarding the promotion of well-being in the midst of difficult life situations.

The Importance and Appropriateness of Utilizing Different Methodologies for Research. Introduction The process of research entails the logical as well as systematic search for useful data and information with regard to a specific topic (Jha, 2008). It is also comprised of the investigation of the best, most cost effective and appropriate solutions to both social and scientific issues, following an objective and logical analysis. Jha, (2008) defines research as the search for knowledge and the discovery of the truth. During this process, the data can be gathered from a wide pool of sources among them interviews, books, nature among others.The data can then be analyzed with the appropriate data analysis tools, so as to report the findings
To achieve the research objectives the process of research must be carried out by certain principles and to use appropriate methods. It is very important that the methods used to obtain the desired results, and this starts to clearly define the objectives and what we need to know, and also by choosing the methods and tools to help us and to ease the process.
