Publisher's Synopsis
This book examines the methodologies, theories and philosophical perspectives that lend themselves to research about emotions. It discusses the implications of investigating emotions in early childhood on the researcher, as a person, scholar and professional and considers what language is appropriate in research about emotions, the impact the research has and what remains un-researchable in this area. Drawing on the author's experience of qualitative research about love in early childhood, the book explores different theoretical frameworks, philosophical perspectives and methodological approaches to develop a broad and contemporary understanding of the topic.
