The Interpreted World: An Introduction to Phenomenological Psychology - Ernesto Spinelli

Ernesto Spinelli introduces phenomenological psychology, an approach concerned with how people experience, interpret and make sense of the world around them. Tracing its philosophical foundations, he explores how perception, social relationships and our sense of self are shaped by personal experience and the meanings we attach to events. The book explains the phenomenological method and considers how it differs from, and overlaps with, other approaches to psychology. Written as an accessible introduction to a complex philosophical tradition, it is particularly relevant to students and practitioners of psychology, counselling and existential psychotherapy. First published in 1989 by SAGE Publications.
