Review
""Emotionally involved is an important exploration of researching-the-researcher...Campbell argues convincingly that researching researcher's emotions...can more accurately reflect the nature of the rsearch process."
-Lora Bex Lempert, Contemporary Sociology
"Breaks the silence among those who study victims about how emotionally difficult researching rape is..challenges the belief that emotions have no place in science.."
-"The Chicago Tribune
"This is a powerful and painful book. It is powerful because it helps shape a new discourse about compassionate research. This book is about how to do a kind of research that makes you cry, research that makes you feel deeply about violence and rape and their effects on women's lives.."
-Norman K. Denzin, co-editor of "Handbook of Qualitative Research
"Campbell shows how emotions are a fundamental feature of social research, making this book an important contribution to the research methods literature.. I strongly recommend this book to counselors, therapists, social workers, rape crisis workers, victim advocates, psychologists, sociologists and anyone else who works with crime victims or studies people who have experienced trauma, violence, or injustice in their lives.."
-Patricia Yancey Martin, co-author of "Feminist Organizations: Harvest of the New Women's Movement

A much needed look at the emotionality of research
24 Feb 2002
Format:Paperback
There are many taboo subjects in the world of academic research, and emotional involvement with subjects is certainly one of them. Here Dr. Campbell refutes the idea that there is such a thing as value-free, non-biased research when exploring the experiences of survivors of sexual violence. Using examples from her own research, she explores how the researcher's thoughts and feelings shape the research process itself, and demonstrates that emotional involvement can enhance the quality of research with survivors of sexual violence.
As a doctoral student involved in research on violence against women, I found that the book helped me with some of the difficulties I encountered trying (and failing) to remain objective as I interviewed women about their experiences with violence at home and in the workplace.
I recommend the book for researchers everywhere engaged in the delicate process of understanding how members of both sexes cope with psychological difficulties.
