The descriptive phenomenological method in psychology [1] [2] was developed by the American psychologist Amedeo Giorgi in the early 1970s. Giorgi based his method on principles laid out by philosophers like Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty as well as what he had learned from his prior professional experience in psychophysics. [3]
Phenomenological description has found widespread application within psychology and the cognitive sciences. For example, Maurice Merleau-Ponty is the first well known phenomenologist to openly mingle the results of empirical research with phenomenologically descriptive research.

Experimental phenomenology has been defined as the investigation of phenomenological practices and their effects. [1] It has roots in Edmund Husserl's phenomenology. [2]One of the first phenomenologists to use the term experimental phenomenology was Don Ihde, [3] who explored how intentional variations of experiencing can affect classical perceptual illusions, such as the Necker cube.
The term 'phenomenology' only appears once in the first edition of Volume I, in a footnote to section 57. [8] Volume II introduces Husserl's phenomenology, which he characterizes as both a science of essences and as a descriptive psychology that aims to serve as a groundwork for a radical critique of knowledge.
