Summary
This paper examines a methodological approach coupling autoethnography and a reflexive narrative writing and reading process applied by three PhD students exploring relationships between adult children and their parents in the IPV context. The authors provide a detailed account of the study design and their experiences applying this method. Challenges and benefits are discussed, which can be useful to other researchers and practitioners, particularly those working on such sensitive issues as IPV. Of note is the safe space and multiple perspectives this approach enables in sharing, examining, and gaining insights in their triple roles as researchers, peers, and fellow victims.
