The Wounded Researcher:

Research with Soul in Mind

360 pages, ISBN 1-882670-47-7 / 978-1-882670-47-5, Spring Publications

Romanyshyn reimagines depth psychology as a praxis of ’research that keeps soul in mind’ in several ways at once: as a practice of mourning what has been lost in one’s experience; as an alchemical hermeneutics that consists in transference dialogues with one’s unconscious psyche; and as an ethics of selfexamination by the researcher that acknowledges his or her wounded state in the complexes that underlie perception and judgment.
