Named an Outstanding Academic Title for 2002 by "Choice "
"Thomas and Pollio, authors of numerous publications, have
written a must-read book for nurses and other health care providers
who want to understand and engage in the human experiences of
patients. The authors provide wonderful insights for students,
researchers, and clinicians into the world of existential
phenomenology and share, through the use of this research
methodological approach, the personal stories of patients as they
lived their experiences. As thought-provoking as the research
examples are, the chapters explaining philosophy and methods of
existential phenomenology are essential reading for all nursing
students...Thomas and Pollio write clearly and simply without the
usual academic jargon, a welcome change for college students,
clinicians, and researchers alike. This book fills a void in the
nursing research literature and will be welcome to nursing
researchers, practitioners, and lower-division undergraduates
through graduate students."
"--CHOICE"
"This book fills not only a gap but a wide cavern....I can not
think of a better way for neophyte nurses to engage the human
experiences and perspectives of their patients, nor can I think of
a more relevant and comprehensive explanation of the philosophy and
methods of existential phenomenology for seasoned researchers,
scientists, and theoreticians."--Jacquelyn H. Flaskerud, PhD, RN,
FAAN, UCLA School of Nursing
While addressing a wide readership, this book focuses
particularly on the nurse clinician and student, demonstrating how
a humanistic philosophy and research methodology has the potential
to illuminate the deeper meanings of health crises and universal
human experiences like pain and spiritual distress.
