Psychoanalytic Aspects of Fieldwork / Edition 1

by Jennifer C. Hunt

Overview

‘Jennifer Hunt has made a saltatory step in facilitating the capacity of investigators in the field to make effective use of their inner emotional resources... Drawing upon her own experiences and upon in-depth interviews of a number of her colleagues, she convincingly demonstrates that unconscious strivings, aversions and emotional conflicts within the investigator play a major role in the process of selecting, studying and constructing hypotheses about target populations' - Martin A Silverman
