We as practitioners, visionaries, scholars, and researchers have access to a text that wonderfully examines the complexities and nuances of auto-ethnography in a way that can be useful in and outside the classroom.”
“I am much more informed about autoethnography because of this text; while there was much I knew, I learned so many things reading through this book.”
This book is an appealing tool for both students to learn, and professors to introduce the method of (autoethnography).... This book is not for the faint of heart but offers a sound and evidence-based methodology for the science of exploring one's lived experience in academia, practice, and personal life.
Numerous students look into autoethnography as a research methodology especially because it is well tuned to counselling psychology philosophy. This is an excellent book, with clear theory and also practical advice and a step-by-step process.
