KIRBY, Jennifer K.. An existential-phenomenological investigation of women's experience of becoming less obsessed with their bodily appearance. Indo-Pac. j. phenomenol. (Online) [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.1, pp.1-15. ISSN 1445-7377.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/20797222.2016.1164989.

This study investigated women's lived experience of becoming less obsessed with their bodily appearance. Written narrative accounts were collected from seven women co-participants and a phenomenological analysis of these descriptive protocols was then performed in order to reveal the prereflective structure of the focal phenomenon, seven essential constituents of which emerged. A major goal of this research was to contribute to the undernourished area of phenomenological research regarding the experience of body image.
