Abstract

Purpose

This paper contributes to a dialogue about the psychoanalytic concept of free association and its application in the context of qualitative research interviewing. In doing so, it also adds to wider discussion regarding the relationship between clinical psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy and qualitative research.

Design/methodology/approach

Critical consideration of different perspectives on the application of free association in the qualitative research interview, extending earlier work addressing this issue. Differences and similarities in the way the concept of free association is articulated are examined regarding its framing in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy.

Findings

Whether researchers see themselves as borrowing, applying or drawing inspiration from free association, there is scope for muddling distinct ways of viewing it as it is conceived in psychoanalysis.

Originality/value

Considerations are outlined for researchers interested in psychoanalytically informed methods to be mindful of.

自由联想与定性研究访谈:视角与应用
目的本文有助于就精神分析的自由联想概念及其在定性研究访谈中的应用展开对话。设计/方法/方法对自由联想在定性研究访谈中的应用的不同观点进行了批判性的思考,扩展了之前针对这一问题的研究。研究结果无论研究人员认为自己是借鉴、应用自由联想还是从自由联想中汲取灵感,都有可能混淆精神分析中对自由联想概念的不同理解。
