Transforming Self and Others Through Research

Not only can research have a transformative effect on self and others, but transpersonal methods can also transform research. Anderson and Braud (both affiliated with the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, Palo Alto, CA; coauthors, Transpersonal Research Methods for the Social Sciences, 1998) describe intuitive inquiry, integral inquiry, organic inquiry, intentionality, embodied writing, and other techniques and an expanded concept of validity, that complement familiar methods that can lead to a researcher's personal growth and expanded research skills. The book includes experiential exercises. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
