Abstract

The additional step proposed as an extension to Colaizzi's seven step analysis offers researchers using Colaizzi's method greater access to implicit and explicit meanings embedded in participant descriptions by utilising 'expressions of life' - art, music, poetry, metaphor as symbolic representations - as articulated by the participants in explicating their experience of the phenomenon.
