Phenomenological psychology, also called phenomenology within psychology, is a sub-discipline of psychology defined as the scientific study of subjective experience. It approaches its subject matter by attempting to explain a person's experience from that person's own point of view, working through the analysis of that person's written or spoken accounts of the experience. The approach has its roots in the phenomenological philosophical work of Edmund Husserl.
