In this paper I discuss methodology to research individual involvement in the individuation process. First, I delineate my basic assumptions as a “bracketing of being.” Next I discuss various research methodologies, all which seem to be appropriate. These include research as a qualitative phenomenological study, as a hermeneutic study, as a dramatic aesthetic study, as a religious way of knowing, as an ethical study and as a depth psychological study. Acknowledging these various research methodologies as integral to my research are in keeping with the subject matter and the nature of the depth psychological perspective. Only the quantitative method seems inappropriate in the proposed research, although I indicate where it could be of value in the study of depth psychology.
