Editorial

The Editors are pleased to be able to include a number of papers among the dozen which open the eighteenth edition of the Journal that contribute to research and dialogue in the field of existential therapy. Shinebourne and Adams introduce Q-methodology in phenomenological research and provide an example of a research project utilising this approach. Hayes' report on her phenomenological research, drawing on exploration of the meanings of 'home' as experienced and constructed by voluntary migrants, is proffered as a response to Madison's paper in the last edition of this Journal.

McDonald employs a narrative approach to methodology to analyse the phenomenon of epiphany in his paper, while Jacobsen undertakes a review of the use of the concept of 'happiness' in existential psychology and therapy to arrive at some clinically-useful observations.

In the spirit of dialogue with earlier contributors to Existential Analysis, du Plock reflects on the dearth of research in the area of existential-phenomenological clinical supervision, and outlines a piece of co-research undertaken with practitioners in the hope that it may spur others to contribute to this literature.
