Отрывок из книги
The dialogue you are about to read contains the unaltered self-dialogue (self-interview) script of Dr. Engin Ozertugrul’s doctoral dissertation. Unlike any previous research on the subject, the author/researcher self-dialogued his thoughts and feelings in real-time self-to-self conversation in which he was both “I-Researcher” (IR) and “I-Participant” (IP). In this format, the conversation between IR and IP is impromptu and immediately available to readers. In the dialogue, the author explored two research questions: How did I experience obsessions and compulsions? And how do I experience healing from obsessions and compulsions? The results are presented within creative synthesis, the artistic creation that demonstrates the essence of the experience as a true reflection of 45 interview sessions that were conducted over the course of 85 days. There were two creative syntheses—one was formulated at the end of the Part I interview sessions (1-22) and the other at the end of the Part II interview sessions (23-45). The first creative synthesis answered the first question; the second creative synthesis was the composite depiction of both research questions.
We, people with OCD, face a common enemy and this entitles us to that extra something (or that inner something) that makes our experiences less than amenable to scientific methods. When this mysterious inner experience is absent, our healing may not be complete, however valid and justified our treatment (or therapy) may be. This book can best help you by sharing not only our sorrows, disappointments, and failures but also by framing them in new ways to achieve a real sense of healing. Although, this book is self-contained, it demonstrates the application of the self-healing method described in the author’s doctoral dissertation entitled, Heuristic Self-Search Inquiry into One Experience of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Readers are strongly encouraged to read the dissertation, which is provided as a free supplement, to gain a fuller understanding of the method.
