Phenomenological method as a discipline of a mind
Review
This article discusses the opportunities of phenomenological practice. Even though phenomenological method is criticised for complicated ideas and few methodological guidelines, I argue, that the core ideas of phenomenological method can be transformed into practice of phenomenology. The implications of practicing the phenomenological aitude and the proposed procedures reach far wider than just social work research – they provide also important opportunities for social work practice and are related to such ideals as empathy, respect or compassion.
