Susi Ferrarello is Lecturer in Philosophy at California State University, USA.Nicolle Zapien is Dean of the School of Professional Psychology and Health at the California Institute for Integral Studies, USA.

In this book, Susi Ferrarello and Nicolle Zapien provide a much-needed interaction between theory and practice, and between method and description—both with respect to Husserl studies and to phenomenological psychology more broadly. The book’s clarity and concreteness will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, leadership, business, and philosophy. Focused primarily on what it means to perceive reality, what it means to be intimate, and what it means to live a temporal life, this work will inspire and direct students to phenomenology as to a meaningful resource for better communication and introspection.
