Phenomenological Psychology

Phenomenological psychology is a method of understanding human experience by exploring how individuals perceive and interpret their world. It focuses on studying subjective consciousness—how people experience thoughts, feelings, and perceptions firsthand—without preconceived theories or assumptions. By paying close attention to personal perspectives, phenomenological psychology aims to uncover the deeper meaning of experiences, providing insights into human consciousness and behavior. Essentially, it seeks to understand what it’s like to live through an experience from the person’s point of view, emphasizing openness and detailed description.
