What is it about?

This article describes the use of IPR as a reflective and reflexive research method which enhances equality in qualitative research. IPR invites co-researchers into the process of analysing and interpreting data through taking part in reflection on the intersubjective dynamics and context of the research conversation.

Why is it important?

The approach presented offers researchers an opportunity to apply psychodynamic thinking about the intersubjective encounter to their research data. In this way some of the awareness generated in therapeutic practice can be applied in a research context.

Perspectives

The way IPR is used here is innovative since it is combined with dialogical analysis to enable a shared focus on the process of conversations.
