ABSTRACT
To be open to our client’s experience of their world we need to begin by suspending, as far as possible, our own preconceptions of the world. We all interpret our world and to reduce the impact of our interpretations Husserl devised a three-step method that is marked by a change in attitude to how we perceive our world. He believed that if we completed the three steps described below that make up the process of phenomenological reduction, also known as the phenomenological method, we could then be touched by the virgin experience. Any description gained that did not adhere to this method was not considered to be a phenomenological description by Husserl.
